It’s Day 11 of our Proverbs 31 Woman Bible Study!

Today, we’re going to dig into Proverbs 31:23:

Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.

In yesterday’s lesson, we learned being a Proverbs 31 Woman means being prepared for the different seasons of life, specially the “winter” season. We also talked a bit about modesty and dressing in a way that reflects the focus of your heart. You can get caught up with yesterday’s lesson here!

Today’s video lesson we will look at how our character and virtue impact our husbands. We’ll also take a deep dive into the whole “pride thing” among men and why that’s so important.

Proverbs 31 Woman Bible Study – Day 11
(Your Impact On Your Man)

Why did the scripture suddenly start talking about her husband?

This part threw me for a loop. Up until this point, we have been talking about the character traits of the Proverbs 31 Woman. Then all of a sudden, they mention her husband!

What’s up with that?

Here’s an interesting revelation. . .

This woman’s virtue and character caused her husband to be respected among the other highly respected men in their community.

How POWERFUL is that?!

In other words, your virtue and character has an impact on your husband and his life!

Yes, you want to develop these character traits because it’s good for your soul and grooms you as a Godly woman. However, as a result of this, you will bring respect, dignity, and honor to your husband.

This is one of the ways women are influential in the men in our lives, especially our husbands.

Our good rubs off on them and how others perceive them.

Our bad rubs off on them and how others perceive them.

We have to make a choice in the kind of influence we want to have on their lives.

Good or Bad?

The good will bring goodness to his life, including respect among his peers!

Pride, Dignity, and Honor

Men are wired to thrive off of pride, dignity, and honor.

One way we can help build and maintain this is to be a wife who is loving, respectful, diligent, and a willing worker.

This is considered honor among men. It says to other men that his house in order, as a result, your husband will be greatly respected for it.

We, also, should not cause any shame or disgrace to our husbands. No man wants to be shamed because of his wife. It’s totally a pride thing and just how God has wired men. They just don’t.

So do your best to live in a such a way that is honorable before God and your husband.

Men also take great pride in their wives!

Because we are “one,” when people see us, they see our husbands, too. It boosts a man’s confidence and pride, when he knows he has a ‘good thing’ in his wife!

So be that good thing!

There’s a confidence in my husband when I’m walking in these virtues and character traits because it speaks to my husband’s character and allows him to maintain his pride and dignity. . . even among other men.

Respect Is Key

We MUST respect our husbands. 

Ephesians 5:33 tells husbands to love their wives and wives to respect their husbands.

Let me tell you something. . .

Respect = LOVE to a man

And there’s no other way around it.

Respect for men is key.
Respect for men is crucial to how God wired them.

A man who does not have respect is almost like a walking zombie. He’d rather you hang him by his toenails, than to disrespect him.

There is nothing worse for a man to not have the respect of his wife and other men in his circle or men he respects.

So, be sure you are respecting your husband and his role a provider, protector, and head of household. It starts with you! If you respect him and others see this, they will have no choice, but to respect him, as well.

Also, check in with your husband regularly to see if his respect tank is full. If it isn’t, then find out how you can adjust and grow in this area.

What can I do to ensure my husband knows I respect him and bring him respect among other men.
