BLESSED
Prov 12:4
4 A wife of noble character is her husband's crown,
but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
NIV
It is a good thing I have a noble wife or I would have a difficult time with this devotion. I cannot think of anyone I know who does not admire my wife and think of here as a good woman and of noble character. It may be true of those days when this saying was penned that men choose their women without much input from the woman herself. The cultural of this day is not so, as I believe most marriages are based on the choice of the woman rather than the man. But I have to say I believe my and wife and I are married because of God. I am not sure with how due to how it all began, but surely I am convinced it was his plan, or he made so awesome adjustments in his plan because I am so blessed to have her as a wife. This saying does not speak to my character, but only that she is a crown for me. I can only imagine how some men must feel if their wife is disgraceful. I am not sure how that is defined other than a woman who causes shame to her husband. How that would be accomplished could be a variety of ways which I dare not expound upon and for that matter have no need to as my wife certainly does not cause me shame in any way manner or form. So I am a blessed man, wearing a crown upon my head because of the character of my wife. Maybe that does not mean much in this cultural but is surely means a whole lot to me. Maybe most woman are not concerned about their character for the purpose of their husbands, but I truly believe my wife does. What more can I say, I am blessed.
