What Do I Owe My Wife?

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

Proverbs 31:10

Twenty-seven and a half years ago God gave me Debby. She is the second greatest blessing of my life (the first being my salvation and relationship with God).

I have discovered that marriage God’s way works. By the way, I’ve learned that anything done God’s way works. This is because as the Creator of all, He knows best how to operate what He designs.

Anything worth having requires effort. The more valuable the thing, the greater the effort required, and the greater the reward received. This is definitely true of marriage!

God’s Word is an instruction manual for husbands and wives. So far I have learned seven responsibilities that I owe her. They are my opportunities to invest in my marriage.

Father, thank You for giving me a virtuous wife, and Your instruction manual to teach me how to treat her. Enable me to treat her in accordance with Your Word so well that she could be glad she married me. Help me to do all I can to make her life rich…and blessed. I ask this for Your pleasure. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
