Proverbs 31 says,

The husband of a virtuous wife will rise up and call her blessed,

My wife is the perfect wife,

and it's not because she is perfect in the sense of being without sin,

but she's the perfect wife for me.

She's the one that God chose for me. I know without a question.

And I can say, without any reservation, that the heart of her husband safely trust in her.

And for that reason, I don't need to go out and seek wicked gain

or seek to achieve things in a way that is not godly

or principled or does not exhibit Christ-like character. I know that everything I do

will be acceptable to her as long as it typifies Christ and exalts his righteousness. And so I do trust in my wife,

and I thank the Lord for my wife. We are not two people who live under the same house, but go

in different ways. We are two people who became one at the marriage altar. And we have enjoyed life

more every day that we have lived it for these 36 years.

I thank the Lord for my wife.
