Excellent post. Yes, I have such a wife of almost 30 years. She strengthens every one of my weaknesses. I can depend on her to make sound decisions. All that I have we’ve built together. God is good.

Amen Amen I say to you: without a good wife you will surely screw up! This coming from a thrice-married guy about to celebrate his tenth anniversary to a mighty fine woman! God is indeed good.

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD. -Proverbs 18:22

There is this that I told several during my church's monthly Men's Breakfast: When you look up the word husband in the dictionary it isn't just a noun, it is a verb as well. A Husband is not just what you are it is WHAT YOU DO as well.

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. Proverbs 1: 10-12

The only advice I can add to this is:

Always marry a young wife who can take care of you in your old age.

I’m single but am thankful for all the godly couples God blessed me through over the years.

If I can’t say anything good about my ex-wife of 15 years, I just won’t say anything at all.

But I can now truly testify that God can bless you by taking someone out of your life. Even though I was miserable for a while, I know I am much better off now in several ways.

Hey amore, I think you can tell that I agree with DJ, and took that advice most seriously. 😀😆😃😊

I didn’t appreciate my wife adequately in our early years, but now I realize what an incredible gift God has given me.
