“An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.” (Proverbs 12:4)
Husbands: Most men are social idiots compared to women. We are playing checkers while they are playing chess. If you look good in public, it is because she makes you look good. Give her credit (publicly and privately) for putting that crown on your head.
Wives: You will never fully appreciate what a gift you give your husband when you protect his dignity even when he doesn’t deserve it. You win our hearts all over again when you shield us from the humiliation of our own concoction. We were stupid, but you were gracious.
