Josh and Becca Thrap and Family

I have been blessed by our creator with a wonderful loving and understanding Prudent Wife. (Proverbs 16:21 and Proverbs 19:14).

Why do I choose now to say this. It is not Mothers day, and Hallmark has not come up with a wives day. I say it, because through over a third of my life she has stood by me and supported me and even today, when I was overcome with stress, she had the firmness and love to get to the real point, the true importance of our relationship together.

Many people misinterpret my wives wisdom and firmness as being mean or cold. I testify that that is not the case. She has far more love and compassion in her than she has ever been given credit for. She has many qualities that I wish to have.

I digress.

I love my wife. She makes me a better man. I am grateful for her patience with me. What makes a wife wonderful? I will have to say it is not the things that Redbook alludes to, or cooking and keeping kids in check, or having a clean house, it is truly caring about her husbands feeling, and knowing them before he shares them. If a man has that he should overlook the imperfections that we all have, and love her with all his heart and give her the world.

Men. Love your wives. Teach you sons and daughters what is truly important, so they can have great wonderful relationships. (We all know friends and the media will tell them that feeling good and getting what you want is the most important.) Let selfishness go and love your wives.

As a closing statement I will add that I lapse in this above monologe as well. When I realize it I re-focus and try harder. Never give up, and if you fall down correct course and continue building your wife up.
