Every wife wants her husband to be respected, but women don't always realize how much they contribute to the respect he receives.

Here's Nancy Lee DeMoss.

You see, a man's reputation in the workplace begins at home.

And he may be a great leader, he may be a very capable man, but if he doesn't have a wife and children who respect him and respect and honor the Lord, even more importantly, then that's going to pull down his reputation rather than contributing to it.

It's Monday, March 5th, and this is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss.

Thank you. fifth, and this is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss.

Do you think people ever admire your husband because of you and your actions?

Have you ever even thought about it?

You have a lot of influence on his reputation and his ability to get things done. Nancy will explain how you can be a help and a compliment to your

husband as she continues in a series on Proverbs 31 called the Countercultural Woman.

Last week I was in a small group of women and we were discussing a number of things and

one woman piped up at one point and she told how years ago when she was 33 years old,

she went for the first time to a Bible study in a church that someone had invited her to. She was not a Christian. She had

never studied the Bible. And would you believe, of all things they were studying, Proverbs 31?

And she said, this is a newcomer to the scripture. She said, I opened my Bible. I read

Proverbs 31. And she said, I could not believe what I read in this passage.

She said, especially when I got to verse 23, where it says, her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.

She said, I went crazy when I read that verse.

Because we had just been reading about all these things this woman does.

She's working her head off.

She's killing herself, and what's her husband doing?

He's hanging around the gates.
