She Brings Him Good

"She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life." Proverbs 31:12

The meaning of "bring" hints at repaying. So we are to not only always bring good, but to repay good rather than evil ALL.THE.DAYS.OF.OUR.LIFE."

Wow! That means that when I'm not given good by him, I have to put my big girl panties on and be good anyway. My childrens' voices are echoing in my head. "That's not fair!"

I keep thinking how many times in marriage we get caught in the crazy cycle:

• "I'll meet his love language when he meets mine!" All the while he is thinking, "I'll meet hers, when she meets mine."


• "I'll show him respect, when he shows me some love." All the while he is thinking, "I'll show her love, when she shows me some respect."


• "I'll be good to him, when he is good to me......

....and on and on it goes, until someone grows up and breaks the cycle.

Will it be you?

Do you have the guts? It isn't easy, because even if you have the guts, you can't brag about it....or you've defeated the whole purpose.

Any of you out there know what I'm talking about?

So today, ask God how you can do your husband good. I'm asking too!
