If you want to catch the attention of the King (God), treat his daughter well!

I always wondered what this verse in the Bible actually meant.

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord” - Proverbs 18:22

The implications of this promise go far beyond simply getting married. Many have done that without any increase of God’s favor over their lives, so what does this verse actually mean.

This promise is given to those who correctly steward the blessing of marriage. If you want to catch the attention of the King (God), treat his daughter well.

It is not the wife who brings in good or bad fortune in the house like many cultures and traditions teach us. But it is ones attitude and behavior towards her that determines and draws God’s attention and further brings forth blessings and favor on your life.

It illustrates the relationship of God with His people ‘the church’. The groom is to love his bride as Jesus loves the church and died for her. The bride is to honor and respect the groom as the church respects God. Stewarding marriage by maintaining honor and love in the relationship is to position oneself for increase of favor with God and man.

It is when this relationship is held in proper esteem that the message of God’s love is most clearly seen in the world.

Treating our wife, daughter, mother & women friends releases Gods blessings as they all are daughters of the King (God).

God Bless!!
