The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, So that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
We see here a masterclass in relationships boiled down to the elemental. This portion states her husband, literally owner, lord or husband trusts her implicitly therefore he has no lack of plunder. She will deal or recompense him agreeably and not disagreeable as long as she is alive.
There is a ton of ideas to unpack and there is no way we will cover the entirety, it is just too much to discuss. Let us begin with the basics.
For Men:
You are responsible to be wise and protective, among other things, to your Wife. She should feel safe and secure with you as a leader. You are to give her a space to grow her abilities and influence so she can become the Lady she was meant to be. She is not your toy or your servant or your slave. She is THE MOST valuable thing you own and you are to treat her accordingly.
Life will be hard and things will not always go your way. There will be hard lessons to learn along the way but they are not excuses to use and abuse her. The reason you “own,” her is because she is built to need you to own her. Not like you own a toy, like you own a valuable asset. You love her, you make certain she has what she needs, you allow her to build value by protecting and performing maintenance and working hard to keep her valuable.
To Women:
Do NOT marry someone you do not trust to own you in the manner listed above.
When you find each other and you promise to go through life together, HE should reap the lion’s share of the benefits of owning you properly. HE should not be in need of spoil because he has you and you recompense him agreeably. If you give your energy and your time and your effort and your value to other people, your kids, your work, your friends, your group, and he does not reap the rewards- you are going to lose your owner.
