PERSONAL AND HOME APPEARANCE TEST
Have you ever looked through a magazine and see a picture of a beautiful master bedroom. This room is gorgeously decorated with an opening off to the side. In that side section, you usually will find that is comfortably decorated with a “love seat” and table. This room is called a “Parents Retreat”. This side section, yet open to the master bedroom with no doors, is a place for the parents to sit and relax.
We will continue as a “profile peeker” and learn more about the Proverbs 31 woman.
Prov.31:22 “She makes herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.”
This implies she makes coverings for her bed; and she is clothed in fine apparel.
This woman knows that both her home appearance and her personal appearance are important to her husband.
Do you ignore or neglect either one of these areas?
If you ignore either one of these areas, you are SHOWING fraud, laziness and disrespect to your husband.
I hope you have figured that out! Before marriage he expected these areas to be taken care of.
Do you need a course in “clutterology” or need a visit from “Merry Maids?”
Whatever it takes girls, let’s just get it done!
The virtuous woman keeps an inviting atmosphere in her bedroom and all through her house she decorates elegantly.
I have heard that a bedroom should look ROMANTIC, which emphasizes to your husband the importance of intimacy.
Mine looks a bit like Hawaii, which to us is a romantic place.
If you do not know how to decorate, COPY. Yes, copy!
Look at magazines or ask a friend to help you.
The next thing this virtuous woman did in this verse is, she dressed herself well.
You definitely do not have to be RICH to dress nice.
You get basic items and you just add to them items or colors.
Add jewelry, scarfs, hats, shoes, purses, belts and jackets or sweaters.
People who dress mannequins do these tricks. SO CAN YOU!!
Women who are too lazy to fulfill their God given calling, use “false humility” to dress dull and drab.
You were created for your husband so you must maintain your attractiveness.
1Cor.11:7 “…the woman is the glory of the man.”
You know that when you were dating your husband, you went through great lengths to wear the right outfit.
You spent HOURS trying to get your makeup and hair perfect.
It is defrauding to now put that area at the back of your list.
CASE AND POINT: I always remember a TV commercial where a wife would not let her husband use the good towels they received as wedding presents. He asked her, “Who are you saving them for, your next husband?”
Can I get a little CRUDDY here girls and bring it home? If your marriage is getting a little dull, fix up your bedroom and yourself for your husband before another woman does!!!!!!
Unfortunately, even in CHRISTIAN marriages the divorce rate is the same, 50%.
Can we change that number with the Holy Spirit as our guide.
YES!!!
Start right now!!
Fighting the good fight and loving it!
