Think back to when you and your husband were first introduced and began to fall in love with one another. Do you ever remember “just happening” to be where you knew he’d show up? Did you wear an outfit you knew he liked, or a color that he liked on you? Did you share things with him that told him you thought he was the most wonderful man God had created…that he would surely fulfill all that God had given him to do? Doing these things was our choice. He was our choice.
There is one woman that is doing these things, but not for her husband…yes, you guessed it, it’s The Foolish Woman. When we find her in Proverbs 7 we see that she is doting on a man that she is not married to. She knows just when he’s going to be passing by, and she “just happens” to be there so she can meet with him. She talks smooth talk to him. She gives him her attention. These are all things that she should have been doing for her husband. What would have changed about her marriage if she would have reserved all this for the man she was married to? If she would have put this much energy into her own home, she would have had no desire to be out flirting with this foolish man. She’s made another poor choice!
What are you doing today to strengthen your relationship with your husband? Are you spending time with him? Are you planning time that you can have a date, to talk and just be his friend? Are you dressing sharp like you did when you dated? Are you talking with him in a sweet tone of voice? Do you smile and let him know that he’s the only one that makes your heart flip?
Don’t let your heart (and eyes) wander to someone else’s husband and think how easy it would be to be married to him. Pour your energy and creativity into your marriage today and watch what will happen to your home instead; it’s the right choice!
