🌼🩷✨ THE EXCELLENT WIFE ✨🩷🌼
I’ve been reading The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace, and one thing I’m really appreciating is the reminder that being a godly wife isn’t about becoming some perfectly polished Proverbs 31 robot who wakes up at 5:30am, bakes her own bread, has a spotless house, never gets hangry, and greets her husband at the door looking fabulous every night. 😂🌸
It’s about character. 💜 It’s about becoming a woman who is…
🌷 Trusted
🩵 Kind
🌼 Wise
💖 Generous
🛠️ Hardworking
✨ Not afraid
🦋 Good to her husband
💐 Respectful to her husband
🌈 And above all else… fears the Lord.
And THAT is the one that gets me. 💥💗
Because ultimately, becoming an excellent wife isn’t primarily about becoming better at “wife-ing”. 😂 It’s about becoming more like Christ.
The closer I grow to Jesus, the more that should overflow into the way I speak, the way I respond when I’m frustrated, the way I serve, the way I encourage, and the way I respect and love my husband. 🩷
Martha Peace continually brings it back to this: your marriage is another place where God is sanctifying you. 🌱✨
💜 “Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.”
- Proverbs 31:30
It’s not about perfection or performance.
It’s about:
🌼 Faithfulness.
🦋 Character.
✨ A heart that fears the Lord.
That’s the kind of wife I want to keep becoming. 🌷✝️
