Proverbs 12:4 says, “A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones”.

Dictionary.com describes disgraceful as “Bringing or warranting disgrace; shameful”. It also uses words like “shameful, shocking and scandalous” in its description. It gives us a nice picture of what the verse is saying.

As we can imagine the moral character of a man’s wife effects her husbands enjoyment of life. If a woman is out gossiping, lying, stealing, cares only for herself, constantly nags him or speaks badly of her husband in public, it can really wear on him and make him feel like his bones are decaying.

Compare this to the wife who is her husbands crown. It she loves and supports him, cares for her family and others, acts with integrity and choses never to speak negatively about her husband in public, he will feel blessed and loved.

I am a blessed man to say my wife fits into the “crown” category. My wife loves and supports me in all I do, loves and cares for our kids, she looks after our home wonderfully well and is always supportive of me publicly. My wife is such a blessing to me and I thank God for the day we met.

Let’s all commit to being supportive of our spouses regardless of if we are husbands or wives. Let’s all try to be our partners crown today.

God Bless,
