Proverbs 19:13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
These two verses say some things people don not like to here and some good things. First we have already seen the destruction that comes from a rebellious son, how he brings heartache to the family. Also in this verse we have referenced a nagging wife, which could just as well be a nagging husband, that brings discourse to the household. A spouse that is always complaining and argumentative is like a leak that is unrelenting, it will drive you mad.A person’s home should be a pleasant refuge, not a place with no rest. The next verse goes in the right direction saying you can inherit great things from a good family. The last part of this verse tells us that a good wife is a gift from God.If she is prudent she will be industrious and intelligent as well as a good Christian woman. A wise wife is a result of divine blessing. When both husband and wife are good to each other and work together in everything it makes for a good family relationship. That does not mean there will not be bad times but it means you will be able to work through them.
