Proverbs 31:11-30 Her husband has full confidence in her . . . She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. . . . She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. . . . She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. [Note: even her physical strength is valued.] She sees that her trading is profitable . . . She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity . . . She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. . . . Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” . . . Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. . . .

This is one highly capable woman! Her husband esteems her intellect, talents, economic prowess and even her physical strength. Such is his faith in her that he even lets her buy property! You might lament that your wife is not as capable as this amazing woman, but if you don’t see your wife as having that potential, your very perception is most likely what is keeping her from achieving it. The mother of your children needs you to believe in her. No one has the power to shape her destiny like you have.
