PROVERBS 19:14
"Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth, but only the Lord can give AN UNDERSTANDING WIFE!
Men, are you married? Sons, are you looking for that perfect wife? We need to look to the Lord and pray that He will give us an understanding wife. Many a foolish son has been a calamity to his father and the family. They may look at the outside appearance of a woman instead of her inward beauty that will never fade. The may look for a woman who has no faith or belief in the Lord and as such will follow any path, most of which do not lead to righteousness and faith. If you end up with a wife not blessed by God you will end up with a contentious marriage and continual dropping of water through a chink in the roof of your marriage.
Men, you may think that because you inherited houses and wealth from your parents that you are set for life. If you work endlessly and hard for money you may earn it, but at the expense of a happy marriage and an understanding wife. If you live in a house with a quarrelsome wife you will learn what hell on earth means, it is like a constant dripping. We must never be so self confident and foolish as to not involve the Lord in our decision for the perfect wife. A prudent wife is from the Lord.
If you want a wise, prudent and understanding wife, you must pray to the Lord and ask Him to provide her for you. This is more important than praying for wealth or an inheritance. Like everything in this life, we must always look to the Lord first in everything. It is the Lord who supplies all of our needs, it is not of our own understanding. If you are married and you later came to the Lord, it is imperative that you and your wife be equally yoked and of the same mind. Pray that you will be of the same mind and that you will seek righteousness and faith together. The Lord answers the prayers of those who believe in Him and seek righteousness, even for AN UNDERSTANDING WIFE.
