Proverbs 12:4 "A wife of noble character is her husband's crown"
"God's beautiful woman is pleased to be her husband's crown.
Shunning the spotlight, she gladly gives her life behind the scenes so that her husband may be noticed and honored. She is glad when he is the center of attention, when he excels, when he is recognized, when he rises to the top.
Indeed, she delights in living in his shadow.
His promotion is her greatest reward. She desires that her husband be highly respected and esteemed, so she contentedly offers the supreme sacrifice of herself for him."
---Elizabeth George, Beautiful in God's Eyes

(Spurgeon, "The Saint One with His Savior" #961)
"Sometimes we have seen a model marriage, founded in pure love and cemented in mutual esteem. Therein
the husband acts as a tender head; and the wife, as a true spouse, delights in her husband, in his person, his
character, his affection. To her he is not only the chief and foremost of mankind, but in her eyes he is all in all, her heart's love belongs to him and to him only.

What I learned in the first 12 years of marriage
My husband and I celebrated our 12th Wedding Anniversary this past weekend. These photos are from our wedding day. The first one makes me laugh out loud. Right after we lit the unity candle - we had to stand and hold hands while a long song played and guess what happened - the unity candle WENT OUT!

A good marriage is the union of two forgivers.
--Ruth Graham
~
"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being.
She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path."
