Topic: Specifically for the Men: Your wife, your crown [Monday May 4, 2015]
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband… –Proverbs 12:4
When you look at the rate of infidelity in marriages today and then listen to the excuses some people make, it can be extremely mind- boggling. Some men make statements like “my wife does not dress appealing enough”, “her hair is never made up”, or “my wife never knows how to put on just a little makeup to cover those pimples!” My question to these men today is, what effort have you made to make her look the way you want?
A king is incomplete without a crown; but the way his crown actually looks, tells you a lot about the king’s person and the kind of authority he has. Same principle applies for your wife. The way she appears in public and how well put together she looks, tells a lot about you.
If the Bible says your wife is your crown, and you understand that your authority is incomplete without her, it confirms the value you place on her. Remember, the Bible enjoins the man to deeply, completely and honestly love his wife; and I have come to understand that love and submission go hand-in-hand. A woman that has received true and pure love from her husband is naturally bound to submit. When this happens, your marriage becomes blissful and enviable to all.
Your crown remains of immense value to you. It is what notifies the world of your kingship and causes generations even yet unborn to refer to you. So, beginning today, show that you value your wife by taking care of her needs, providing for her and the family as a whole. No matter how much she may be earning, your respect will be weightier when you also work to take care of her and her needs.
You can always go out of your way to make her look beautiful. Buy her good and quality love gifts, no matter how little, and she will appreciate you for it. Treat her like a queen, and you will in turn be treated like a king. The love you profess for/on your wife can clearly be seen in her countenance and that includes the way she looks. Be a true king today by showing care to your crown.
Remain Blessed!
