This has been a great study! I love the Word of God and how I can continue to learn many things on a moment by moment basis. After 28 years of marriage I have been so encouraged by the reminder of what a virtuous wife looks like. I have also been very encouraged by the insights my sons have been sharing. Last night we were playing Apples to Apples and the word was valuable. My youngest son had the turn of being the judge and he said, " Ah...I have the card woman and that would have been perfect to lay down." Yeah! He is understanding what the Bible has to teach us. May his wife be truly blessed by him someday. I would love to share what my older sons are saying but I have not asked their permission so I will save it for another time but it has been very insightful from a young man's perspective. As for me, I have rediscovered that it is good to be practical or prudent. Sometimes when I speak caution regarding something that my husband may be thinking or doing I can allow my thoughts to envision a ball and chain. That is so the world's view of marriage but not God's. The blessing to me is being reminded that we each bring something to the marriage to support and encourage one another in our God given roles as husband and wife. I will continue looking unto Jesus and asking Him to be my strength.
