The Wife

Who can find a can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; and he will have no lack of gain.  Proverbs 31:10-11

As I sit here at 5 am after an early morning feeding of our now 2 month old baby girl Kylie, I'm thinking about how lucky I am to have met Brittany in college and kept her attention long enough to convince her to be my wife.  You see, even though she got almost no sleep last night, she still fought me when I "volunteered" to take this feeding.

 

 Since our daughter was born, Brittany has all but refused to let me spend weeknights tending to the baby's needs (while she's on maternity leave).  She understands that I will perform better at my job if I am well rested.  I tell her all the time that taking care of a baby all day and night is MUCH harder than my job could ever dream of being, but she still insists.

 

 TALK ABOUT A VIRTUOUS WIFE. She is unknowingly fulfilling the Proverb allowing me the ability to perform diligently at my job...therefore having NO LACK OF GAIN.

 

 I do however take for granted the part of the Proverb, "his heart safely trusts her" more than I should.  I am VERY bad about keeping things inside until the emotions are ready to explode.  There has almost never been a time that Brittany wasn't right in helping me sort through whether something was a good or bad idea.  She believes in me and supports the good ideas without fail and helps me realize that all ideas are not necessarily great.  I don't know why I'd ever take her for granted in this area, but it's something I am and will continue working on.

 

 I have been blessed by God with a virtuous wife...and He has been faithful to us.  He has proven this Proverb as we have had "no lack of gain."

 

 I LOVE YOU HONEY!
