Let’s choose to be noble wives so that we may not bring ruin to our husbands and our marriages.
When you consider the definition, below, of a noble wife versus one that is disgraceful and brings decay to her husbands “bones”, I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be noble.
May the Holy Spirit help us to be noble wives.

[4] A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
