Virtuous wife, blessed husband

ByHanna Shiferaw

Sitting on the terrace of a cafe, me and my friends were chatting and having fun until one of them told us this shocking story of a young couple.

The young man was an outstanding post graduate student studying abroad. He met his wife during his stay and made up a nice couple. But marriage was a tragedy for this intelligent and innocent young man. His wife was continuously cheating on him, that he got the killer STD diease HIV\AIDS.

When he finds out that, he didn’t hesitate to cruelly kill his wife with a knife, and also kill himself in drowning running away from the police.

We were shocked imagining the situation. "Ya! "said the other one after some period of silence, "Your wife can destroy you." staring at our newly wedded friend. We smiled.

The Bible agrees with him. This was said for a virtuous wife who is a blessing for her husband: She will greatly enrich his life. She will not hinder him but help him all her life. Proverbs 31:11-12

Do you ever wished your husband be a better person? You are the key. A wife has great influence on her husband’s life. She can build him up. You can make your husband what you want him to be.

Her husband is well known, for he sits in the council meeting with the other civic leaders. Proverbs 31:23
