Prov 31:11 “The heart of her husband safely trusts her”
“When a man marries a woman who is mentally, emotionally,
physically, and spiritually strong, he can confidently build his life, his
work, and his home, trusting in her rock-solid character to be a cornerstone
for his efforts.”
Elizabeth talks about how we as wives are to be the
cornerstones for our husbands. We are to be the support of the family that
allows him to trust in what we do. We are to be loyal to him.

The how-to’s of beauty
#1 Take trust
seriously- a faithful wife will be able to be trusted
#2 Keep your word-
this is one we take for granted in our society. If I am not going to do
something, better not every lead someone to believe that I will.
#3 Follow through on
instructions- Do what I am asked to do, even when I don’t get it.
#4 When in doubt
check it out- If I am not sure about something, check with my husband.
Example is getting the car fixed.
#5 Be accountable- Let
him know where I am and what is going on. Her example was that Eve was tempted
when she was away from her husband.
How have you see women build up their husbands? How have you
seen them tear them down?
