MARRIAGE SERIES: THE POWER OF CONFIDING IN EACH OTHER
Proverbs 31:18 (NKJV): “She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night.”
The Scriptures liken a wife to the moon (Genesis 37:9-10). By this analogy, the Word reveals something profound about her function in a marriage.
The moon shines at night. It gives light in dark seasons and reflects illumination where natural sight may be limited. In our theme scripture, the virtuous woman’s lamp does not go out by night. This speaks of perception, wisdom, vigilance, and the ability to see even in moments when others may not see clearly.
God has given women a unique grace to perceive certain things that their male partners may not immediately see. A man may be fully convinced that a particular business deal will succeed, yet his wife may discern an angle he has ignored, an angle that could expose him to loss, shame, or unnecessary trouble. She may see a risk in a partnership, a weakness in a plan, or a danger in a decision that he has overlooked.
This is why it is important for a husband to confide in his wife regarding critical decisions.
It does not make you less of a man to share your plans with your wife. It does not weaken your leadership to ask for her thoughts concerning a business, investment, transaction, ministry decision, relocation, or family matter. She may see something you do not see. Many men have made expensive mistakes because they did not create room for honest communication with their wives.
However, on the part of the wife, this grace must never be used as an occasion for manipulation. The ability to perceive what a husband may not see is not a license to control him, arm-twist him, or force him into personal preferences. It is a position of submitted power.
In a home where this is understood, dreams thrive. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Genesis 2:18; Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for the gift of marriage. Thank You for a home where we listen to each other without pride or insecurity, and speak with honour and humility. Secrecy, manipulation, and poor communication are not part of our union. In my marriage, burdens are shared and Your purposes are fulfilled. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
🚨🗣️NEW: Eden Hazard on the Doku controversy: ‘A World Cup comes every four years. Your first child comes once’
“People are acting like Doku is abandoning his country. For what? To witness the birth of his first child? Football has lost its mind. A World Cup comes every four years. Your first child comes once. There will be another tournament, another trophy, another headline. There will never be another first breath from your son.
Some journalists call it ‘disgusting.’ No, what’s disgusting is a world where a player is praised for missing his child’s birth but criticized for being a father. We celebrate loyalty to a badge and mock loyalty to blood. That’s backwards.
You don’t postpone the first cry of your son because a tournament is on. You don’t negotiate with life the way you negotiate with a defender. This is not a friendly. This is not a game you can replay.
Your first child… bringing them into this world… it is a blessing. It only happens once. Everything else — the jersey, the crowd, the cameras — that is noise.
Important noise, yes. But still noise.
A man who turns his back on that moment to chase another trophy is not strong. He is empty. I have lifted everything there is to lift in this game. I know what stays when the final whistle blows and the stadium goes dark. It is not the medal. It is the eyes that look at you like you are their entire world.
Let the boy go home. Let him hold his wife’s hand when it matters. The World Cup will still be here in four years. His son’s first breath will not wait for anyone.
Football teaches you to fight. Fatherhood teaches you why you fight. Some people confuse the two. That is their problem, not Doku’s.”

Many believers do not see the manifestation of their inheritance because their understanding is not reconciled with the realities of their liberties in Christ.
