Proverbs Wife

My good friend Sarah did a wonderful devotion on being a good wife at my shower in Wilmington. Here's a list of the verses she used to guide me as a wife. I will need to read these everyday to be anywhere close to successful!

Proverbs 19:20
Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.
...
Proverbs 31:12
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
...
Proverbs 17:12
The pruden see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
...
Proverbs 20:20
A gossip betrays a confidence. So avoid a man that talks too much.
...
Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
...
Provers 12:25
An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.
...
Proverbs 12:16
A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
...
Proverbs 17:14
Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matther before a dispute breaks out.
...
Proverbs 28:13-14
He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
...
Proverbs 3:27-28
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later, I'll give it tomorrow" when you now have it with you.
...
Proverbs 11:25
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will be refreshed.
...
Proverbs 14:1

...
Proverbs 12:4
A wife of noble character is her husband's crown.

Thanks Sarah!
