"A good wife is a great blessing to a man. He that finds a wife (that is, a wife indeed; a bad wife does not deserve to be called by a name of so much honour), that finds a help meet for him (that is a wife in the original acceptation of the word), that sought such a one with care and prayer and has found what he sought, he has found a good thing, a jewel of great value, a rare jewel; he has found that which will not only contribute more than any thing to his comfort in this life, but will forward him in the way to heaven. God is to be acknowledged in it with thankfulness; it is a token of his favour, and a happy pledge of further favours; it is a sign that God delights in a man to do him good and has mercy in store for him; for this, therefore, God must be sought unto." - Matthew Henry
I'm pretty blessed. I think I've "found" a good wife and I'm very much looking forward to how my wife (that is fun to say) will "not only contribute more that any thing to my comfort in this life, but will forward me in the way of heaven." I've already seen in a multitude of ways how Jenna has challenged me to grow in my faith and trust in Christ and I cannot imagine how going through every step in life together will continue to allow this to happen. Believe me, I am incredibly thankful for the blessing of being able to marry a wonderful woman and if this is the beginning of ways that God will show mercy on me, I can't wait to see what the future holds!
