Proverbs 31:23

 Proverbs 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates
when he sits among the elders of the land. ESV

Woman 31 is married to a man who is known. He sits among the leaders of the land. It's interesting to me that HER husband is known. Apparently she is a good wife, her efforts have reflected well on to her husband. As the saying goes, “Behind ever good man is a great woman.” 

 We have the ability to effect our husbands so very, very much. The respect that we give our husbands both in his presence and behind his back is HUGE.

Sometimes it can seem overwhelming, but the way in which we handle our children, our households, even ourselves, directly reflects on our husbands. GOD has given us a tremendous privilege and responsibility in that we are key in the successes of our husbands. The places he can go, the things he can accomplish, the honor he holds is partially because of the wise encouraging wives we can be behind the scenes. 

GOD commands us multiple times in Scripture to respect/honor our husbands.

Ephesians 5:33, “However, let each one of you love his wife as himself,
and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”
