Chris.
A virtuous and capable wife is of immense value. Those of us who are married men should be regularly expressing appreciation to our wives and thanking God for them. Our words as husbands need to be encouraging and edifying for our wives. Our wives are not meant to be sponges for our work or ministry stress.
