An Excellent Wife
– Proverbs 31:10
Behind every man is a good woman pushing him out the door.
My pastor friend likes saying that, and to a point, it’s
kind of true; that’s what makes it so funny.
But, one thing I love about my wife is how she nudges instead
of pushes me when I overlook the obvious. I call her, “My
Other Conscience”, because she often helps me refocus on righteousness with a
quiet word or a gentle touch.
For example: when I’m in a conversation and I cut off the
person who’s talking, Deseri nudges me ever so slightly to let me know that I’m
being rude. Or, if I’m watching a movie (I like action movies) that has foul
language, she’ll let out a little, “Oh!” and that’s my cue to find another
movie to watch.
I don’t think an excellent wife is found; she is given – by God,
and she helps her husband gather the treasure that truly matters.
