Are you a safe place?

Proverbs 31:11 & 12
    The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

This scripture has been in the forefront of my heart for several weeks now. God keeps expounding on it to me. Generally, people view this scripture in the context of fidelity. He knows he can trust her with his heart and that she will be faithful to him. 

God has been showing me so many different applications to this simple little section of the Bible. 

Do I do my husband good in my housekeeping?

Do I do my husband good in my cooking (homemade and healthy)?

Do I do my husband good in my speech of and to him?

Do I do my husband good in my submission to him?

There are so many aspects of marriage that I need to think about and remember... "{Fill in the blank} will honor my husband."

Would your sweetie be surprised to come home to a clean house and dinner on the table? Sadly... there are some weeks that mine would.

Pray about how you can improve in different areas. And also remember... each wife, each husband, each marriage is different. What works for one home may not work for another home. My advice... speak to your husband. Ask him what he would like to see. You might be surprised by the answer.
