Husbands Wear Your Crown

What a statement. We as husbands are to wear our crown. I will not shy away from that when I consider my crown.

“4An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,

but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.”

— Proverbs 12:4 (ESV)

See here what is my crown, my wife. And Lori is certainly a/the crown to wear. When we go out, she is the best of me. People think of her before they think of me. I am Mrs. Flisowski’s and/or Lori’s husband in most circles. She is the thing that makes me something in this world.

I find it interesting that Lori is Lori with those that I know, yet I am her husband with those that she knows or who know her. I am the tag along with her and she is the better of me when with me. She is the crown that makes me someone. She is what people see first when they see me, and a beautiful sight she is.

Before you ask, no, everything in our home is not always in order. We do not function in an environment without any conflict. We argue plenty. We even mention to one another and others that we do not always like one another. But the love I have for her and she for me does not quit. She knows that I would do anything for her and I know the same. She is the object of my affection and is rightfully identified as my crown.

What is your wife to you? Is she the woman behind you? What is she was the crown that others see when they see you?

Value and Praise Your Wife

I am so glad I have decided to study the word “wife”. This study is reminding me of her and all that she means to me as God intended.

“4An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,” – Proverbs 12:4a (ESV)

Lori is my crown. I am her other half. She is my better/best half. Each day, I awake to ensure that she has what is needed for her to make it through. I do not ask for a lot for myself, as she is really all that I need.

“’29Many women have done excellently,

but you surpass them all.’

30Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

31Give her of the fruit of her hands,

and let her works praise her in the gates.”

— Proverbs 31:29-31 (ESV)

Lori is to be praised for all that she does. She provides for the home and ensures that we are well fed and kept. She minded our boys and reared them to be loving men. Lori is the best of me and I praise her for all that she has done.

I know that I have failed in my recognizing of all that Lori has done for me and our home, but I also know that Lori knows how much I love and care for her. I must do better to place her as my “crown” and praise her for the work and love she does/has for me. I value and praise Lori, my wife.

How does your wife fit into your world? Is she there to complete a task and be the trophy for you? What if she was the best of you and you valued and praised all that she does?
