Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those with quarrelsome spouses. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Some people would give almost anything to have tranquility in their marriage. People suffering with constant conflict can find themselves the victims of abuse and worse.

Proverbs 21:9 (ESV) may sound humorous, but is rather profound.

“It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.”

Or, if the situation happened to be with a quarrelsome husband.

If you are in a challenging relationship, seek wise counsel. Find a professional to confide in. If possible, find reconciliation.

An Excellent Wife is the Crown of Her Husband!

An Excellent Wife is the Crown of Her Husband!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know an excellent wife is the crown of her husband. In Jesus’ name, amen.

My wife and I are about to celebrate our thirty-third wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe that so much time has passed. There are many highlights we experienced during our years of marriage.

Like Proverbs 12:4 (ESV) says,

“An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.”

We have a long list of things to be thankful for.

My wife has been and remains an excellent wife. I have been truly blessed by our relationship. My wife was forty-two when we got married. She was faithful to God while she was single.

She is my crown.

Are you equally blessed? Celebrate your relationship, and make the precious moments count.

If you are struggling, ask for divine guidance.

Praise for the Proverbs 31 Wife!

Praise for the Proverbs 31 Wife!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for men who praise their Proverbs 31 Wives. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Beginning at Proverbs 31:10, the highest praise is given to one woman who is said in verse Proverbs 31:29 to “surpass them all.”

Yet, today, God has equipped women of faith with incredible ability.

This chapter is often read aloud to honor godly women who go above and beyond.

Proverbs 31:29-31 (ESV) includes the last verses in the book of Proverbs. These provide a capstone to all the other accomplishment and traits that characterize the Proverbs 31 wife.

“Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.”

Some men fail to express their gratitude even though they are blessed with a godly wife.

Men. Do not take for granted your spouse.

Read Proverbs 31:10-31 aloud to your wife, and praise the Lord for the gift he has given you.

An Excellent Wife!

An Excellent Wife!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who realize the true value of an excellent wife. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Proverbs 31 has a section that highlights the “Proverbs 31 Wife.” This section begins with Proverbs 31:10 (ESV).

“An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.”

Although Scripture describes qualities she has, those fortunate to have an “excellent wife” realize her incomparable value.

Change Quarrelsome Behavior!

Change Quarrelsome Behavior!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who want to change their quarrelsome behavior. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A drip, drip, drip can be nerve-racking.

Some people have traits that get on other’s nerves.

Combine these two elements, and Proverbs 27:15-16 (ESV) comes to mind.

“A continual dripping on a rainy day
and a quarrelsome wife are alike;
to restrain her is to restrain the wind
or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.”

Solomon does a good job with his comments about restraining the wind and grasping oil when he articulates how hard it is to control a quarrelsome individual – husband or wife.

If you have been the quarrelsome one in a relationship, it is time to trust the Lord and turn from this way of life.
