Chapter Eight
THE PROVERBS 31
HUSBAND!
45
W
HAT MAN wouldn't want a fantastic wife like the
woman described in chapter 31 of the biblical book
of Proverbs? But what kind of man deserves such
a woman?
She is capable, yet submissive to her husband. She is
intelligent, yet clothed with humility.
Men have read this chapter of the Bible and longingly
wondered
if
such a woman has ever lived.
But few men have ever stopped to ponder what kind of
man deserves such a woman. They may fantasize about how
wonderful
it
would be to be married to this vision of true
womanhood, but they have probably never analyzed whether
they would be worthy of her.
Do you think the proverbial "macho," domineering,
male-chauvinist type really deserves the woman depicted in
Proverbs 31?
Or how about the lily-livered, weak-kneed mouse? Could
such an introvert ever achieve happiness and properly lead
the capable woman of Proverbs 31?
Men, it's high time to stop worrying about where this
wonderful wife is and become far more concerned about
becoming a Proverbs 31
husband.
In fact, if there were more Proverbs 31 husbands, there
would be more Proverbs 31 wives!
