Finding a “good thing”

“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” - Proverbs 18v22

Obviously marriage is not always Gods plan for everyone, Paul is a prime example of that. God would have some to remain single as they serve Him. However, marriage is God’s way for most people. God said of Adam that it is not good that man should be alone.

For a man to find a wife is indeed a good thing. A good wife completes a man physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. She is the greatest asset a man can have, no wonder Peter tells us to give honour to our wives. After a few years it can become easy to take our wives for granted. This is not God’s plan. Not only is she a “good thing,” she is evidence of God’s favour on our lives.

May I never be guilty of the sin of taking my wife for granted.
