Proverbs 12:4 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones." (Proverbs 12:4 NKJV)

He affirms that the wife ordained by God is man's crown (seal of authority) in his mantle as husband. She is the wife of superb qualities rooted in God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. She is a woman whose values point the sight of her children and all members of her family towards the direction of heaven. Her virtues draw her family to walk in the path of grace. Her presence at her husband's side props him up in his role to bring his household in the righteousness of God.

On the other hand, a wife who causes trouble is a husband's ticket to downfall. She makes a husband lethargic and slothful. She freezes him from raising a family with a reverent fear of The Lord. When God instituted the sacrament of marriage in the garden, it's His design for a good wife to be a dignified partner to her husband in a unique relationship of two persons - a man and a woman, becoming one. Apostle Paul exhorts all women, in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ through faith in Him, with these words: "[The] women likewise must be worthy of respect and serious, not gossipers, but temperate and self-controlled, [thoroughly] trustworthy in all things. (1 Timothy 3:11 AMP) 

And I say, AMEN!
