The Roof

 

Well, I am going to start with the top of our house, the roof.  The roof is very important (obviously), keeping the rest of the house dry, warm, protected. But as we all know roofs need regular care because of the constant abuse they take. 

As I think of Proverbs 31 as a house I thought of the roof as our husbands. God created a family to be headed by the man, not because they are better but because God made them studier. They are able to go out into the world and see suffering and the darkness and still function, but all the better when they come home to a loving and supportive family. They shield us from so much, so in return the wife must maintain an affirming love, building him up, taking care of his mental health and physical needs with love and graciousness. 

^{Proverbs 31:10-12}

¹⁰ A wife of noble character who can find? 

                                                     She is worth far more than rubies. 

¹¹ Her husband has full confidence in her

    and lacks nothing of value.

 ¹² She brings him good, not harm, 

   all the days of her life.


In this tours we will be looking at the role of a wife as God created, our culture says something totally different and we will explore those differences as well.
