Subject: A husband's responsibility |
Bible Note: My opinion of Proverbs 31 is similar to yours. I believe a "virtuous wife" is one that is "a wise steward of her husband's money and goods" and also is a dependable worker in caring for her family... not lazy. She also has a kind and generous heart, and loves God. When this subject came up... I went blank. I've never had anyone "question" this part of a husband's responsibility before... using the Bible! So I certainly appreciate your help. There |
