Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD

It seems scripture speaks basically to us knuckleheads, as if we are the ones who need the most direction ... right Joe?

Knuckleheads hu?Hmmm....you do not think much of yourselves.Have something to share with us?

 

I'd much rather be a knucklehead than a panhead ...   

 

I didn't know violence was permitted here... it's on now

I hope this question is not too difficult?

 

Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD. Proverbs 18:22

 

Why did the Bible not say that she who finds a man obtains favor of the Lord?

 

Perhaps Because Men

 

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25

 

Are Often A Little Bit Knuckleheaded....

 

Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Colossians 3:19

 

And Their Women Still Love Them Anyway

 

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Genesis 3:16

 

 

Greatest answer ever, Joe     !

 

But in this passage Solomon is showing how men inherit houses and riches from our earthly father, but a wife is from the Heavenly Father.

Houses and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Proverbs 19:14

 

So as a single man, may I say to all you Christian men who are married you have been doubly blessed by the Lord.  So PLEASE Thank God for this wonderful gift He has given you.  Some of us men and even women wonder if we will ever receive this blessing.

Because Adam came first.A rib was taken from Adam to create Eve.

Adam didn't really have to go and find a wife....lucky Adam!

Joe I agree so very much that if men would love their wife as the Bible told the men to do "WOMEN COULD LIVE  IN HEAVEN here on earth,but since we're living still on this fallen world,we have to put up with a lot of self which comes in the way very often

 

True words being said about men can be knuckleheads, but on the other hand we don't act always Godly either,its a struggle........good and bad days! But in the end we wouldn't want to start all over again and look for a wife or man.. 

 

Can you explain the ruling from the man over the women? I know they are the head of the household,but shouldn't the ruling be in agreement if it's not against Gods word?

The Guy May Rule Over Her Heart

 

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Genesis 3:16

 

But As I Read It, In God's Eyes She Is A Gift

 

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. Proverbs 18:22

 

And A Responsibility

 

Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Colossians 3:19

 

And Not Something Created

 

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Genesis 2:18

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25

But I Have Never Read In The Book

 

She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. Proverbs 31:16-17

 

That The Fellow Rules Over The Household

 

She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. Proverbs 31:20-21

 

Must Be Some Heathen Thing Pagans Slipped Into Our Marriages

 

Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:25-27

 

And Perhaps A Reason Some Of Us Guys Are Poor Is We Rule When We Should Bless

 

Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 21:28-31

It is not a matter of level of difficulty, but you are asking a question that is impossible to give a definitive answer to.  You are asking us why God didn't say a certain thing in his Word, and how can anyone really answer that, besides God himself?  All we can do is speculate, which I will attempt to do. 

 

When God created man, he said it was not good for him to be alone.  He created the first woman to be a help meet for him, and created her from his rib.  If it is not good for the man to be alone, it stands to reason that when he finds a wife, he finds a good thing.  I think it has more to do with the fact that the woman was created for the man, rather than the man being created for the woman, that the scripture says this about the man, and not about the woman who finds a husband.  That is what I believe is the case, but only God knows for sure.

I think the answer is self explanatory.

 

Why do we need to state the obvious.
