This Man Found a Good Wife
A Reasonable Man at some point starts looking for a Wife because he knows that without a wife, his life can actually end up like a car driver in the middle of conflicting movements of traffic at an intersection without traffic lights.
The subject of having a wife in one’s life is not something to be treated lightly, because God from Whom the idea came, was very serious about it in Genesis 2:18:
Now the LORD God said, “It is not good (beneficial) for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper [one who balances him—a counterpart who is] suitable and complementary for him.”
God didn’t just say “It’s not good for a man to be alone,” He took it seriously that He immediately promised to do something about it, and he did! He made an authority corresponding to man, someone who alone can balance Man.
In the realm of life’s delicate dance, balance emerges as the art of equilibrium, where weight is harmoniously distributed, granting steadfastness and stability. And for a man who has discovered the treasure of a virtuous wife, balance becomes a compass for sound judgment and wise choices.
but Jerome, I have encountered numerous instances where men, despite being wedded to remarkable partners, navigate paths marred by unwise decisions.
Why does this paradox exist, you ask? It lies in the distinction between being married to a Good Wife and truly embracing her influence and guidance as a source of approval and wisdom.
Let me take you to what the “Aramaic Bible in plain English” and “Brenton Septuagint Translation” of Proverbs 18:22 say:
Aramaic Bible in plain English:
He that finds a good wife finds a good thing, and receives the will of LORD JEHOVAH, and he that puts away a good wife puts away good from his house.
Brenton Septuagint Translation:
He that has found a good wife has found favours, and has received gladness from God. He that puts away a good wife, puts away a good thing, and he that keeps an adulteress is foolish and ungodly.
This is just to emphasise that there are so many men married to good wives at the moment, but prefer to still go after the “LADY” that Fela Anikulapo Kuti sang about.
A Good Wife is a Woman of Noble Character. She will give you the peace of mind that you need, except you are naturally not a man of peace yourself.
However, not every man will find a Good Wife, because ONLY GOD GIVES A GOOD WIFE according to Proverbs 19:14:
House and wealth are the inheritance from fathers, But a wise, understanding, and sensible wife is a gift and blessing from the LORD.
Most of the women we have out there today are the “LADY” kind of women that Fela sang about. If you want to find a good wife, you will have to completely humble yourself before God in prayer for that.
And if you already live with a Good Wife, but fail to recognize the incredible value she brings to your life, it’s important to consider that Satan might be playing tricks on you. He knows that the moment you start treating her with kindness and respect, a flood of heavenly blessings will pour into your life, bringing abundant joy and prosperity.
Don’t let the deceiver cloud your vision any longer. Embrace the wisdom that urges you to cherish and uplift the precious jewel by your side. By unlocking her true worth, you’ll witness the gates of heaven swing wide open, showering you with blessings that go beyond what you can imagine.
May I invite you to partake in James 4:8?
Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
