Proverbs 31:28b: Her husband also, and he praises her.
Insight
Her husband … praises her by telling others she is the greatest of the noble women. 1
Application
If the husband makes Christ’s love for the church the pattern for loving his wife, then he will love her sacrificially. Christ gave Himself for the church; so the husband, in love, gives himself for his wife. Jacob so loved Rachel that he sacrificially worked fourteen years to win her. True Christian love “seeks not her own”— it is not selfish. If a husband is submitted to Christ and filled with the Spirit, his sacrificial love will willingly pay a price that she might be able to serve Christ in the home and glorify Him. 2
Motivation
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7
The best wife is a wife well loved by her husband. – TWEET IT
Prayer
Father, please encourage every man to experience more of Your love each day.
