April 11 – Proverbs 31:23
Proverbs 31:23 NIV
Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he
takes his seat among the elders of the land.
So what does this have to do with wives? Everything.
In For Women Only, the men tell us — “If a man knows
that his wife believes in him, he is empowered [notice
that word?] to do better in every area of his life. A
man tends to think of life as a competition and a
battle, and he can energetically go duke it out if he
can come home to someone who supports him
unconditionally, who will wipe his brow and tell
him he can do it. As one of our close friends told
me, ‘It’s all about whether my wife thinks I can do
it. A husband can slay dragons, climb mountains,
and win great victories if he believes his wife
believes that he can.’ ”
