Rob's Thoughts

A good wife, who can find?  I have been repeatedly reminded of the quality of a good woman as an essential component of a good man.  I suppose the opposite can be argued as well.  While I am constantly reminded of my failures as a man and have difficulty considering myself good – except by the blood of Christ, I consider my wife an excellent woman.  Sure she has her failures, she’s the only person on the planet more stubborn than myself.  However, when I consider the sort of man I wish to become the first thing that comes to my mind is the sort of woman she already is.  Here are 6 select traits that I love about my wife.

She is honorable – who can say anything bad about Larissa.

She is virtuous – the sort of person who isn’t attracted by evil.

She is patient – constantly persevering with me in my failure.

She is diligent – my-oh-my she doesn’t have a lazy bone in her.

She is stubborn – while sometimes this reality can be exasperating, it is also sweet to me that my wife is stubbornly in love with me.  She fights for our marriage, she fights for my reputation, she fights for my success, she stubbornly pursues my best interest, she is stubborn against evil.  In this way I hope to be more stubborn than her.

She is lovely – She is beautiful, her skin is soft, her hair is smooth, her scent is fine, the way she moves is graceful, her countenance is sweet.

Praise the Lord for a good woman.  She makes my life sweet.
