It Is Better
To Live Alone In The Desert
Than With A Quarrelsome, Complaining Wife.
Scripture

than with a quarrelsome, complaining wife.

Proverbs 27:15

Proverbs 31:10

Proverbs 19:14

Proverbs 18:22

Observation
Guys, I don’t know about you, but when I read these passages in Proverbs I am so grateful that God gave me a treasure as my wife and not a nagging, complaining, and quarrelsome woman!
After hearing a woman tear down, put down, gripe, complain, and rip up her husband, I try to remember to shoot up this prayer to the Lord, “Thank you Lord for giving me such a good wife!” And thank you for not giving me a wife like this one!”
Ladies, look for the good that your husband does and praise him for those good things, even if those good things are few and far between. The more you praise him the better husband he will be.
Nagging, complaining, griping, fussing will never make or move your man in the right direction!
Here is something to remember and it is the key to a successful marriage or relationship:
God first, spouse second, and me (or you) third! Lets think about that the next time that we want to gripe, put down, rip, nag, or complain!
By the way men, the same thing goes for us too!
Solomon who was the wisest man in the world was very stupid when it came to women in his own personal life. His 700 wives and 300 concubines were Solomon’s downfall.
Application
I
will treat Kathy the way that I want to be treated. How about you? How will you
treat your spouse?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I agree with Solomon this morning that a wife is a treasure from You.
You have given me a wonderful wife. Help me to treat her like the treasure that
she is. Bless her Lord.
I
pray for those that may be reading this blog this morning. Help them to love
their spouse in the way that brings You glory and honor. Show them how to love
each other.
