Doing him good can be lots of things, but what has just caught my eye is the phrase "all the days of her life". So this isn't just once she is married - for those of us with daughters not yet married - are we training them (and being the example) of how they should do their husband good? The attitudes and thoughts they have now WILL be the ones they carry into marriage. How they treat Daddy IS how they will treat a husband. A husband will benefit and appreciate their purity of heart, mind and body. Just a bit of a thought. A Sister in Christ, Lori

Dear Sisters, I wanted to do some study before I posted and allot of things were brought to light about this verse. First off I am posting part of strongs definitoin. adj 1) good, pleasant, agreeable 1a) pleasant, agreeable (to the senses) 1b) pleasant (to the higher nature)
The first thing that I noticed is that a virtuos wife itll be agreeable. One way I believe we can do that is to ask what we would like to do or have our Husband do and then leave it be.
Proverbs 27:15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. I myself am driven up the wall when the faucet drips and if we are always begging and winnig for what we want of even what we think we should do that is being a dripping, or dropping, as it is stated here. That is not a pleasent thing for our DH to come home to. Ask once and then leave it in God’s hands. I like the story of the women who pestered the judge I will look up which gospel that is in and post that later. I know that I can always beseech my heavenly Father. It is not my responsibility to change my DH but God’s/
Agreeable to the senses. I believe means we take care of our physical bodies as much as we can. This is an area that you and your DH should talk about and do as he asks. I am currently struggling with my weight. Even though I am pregnant I am on a Dr. approved diet so as not to gain to much weight. When this baby is born I want to lose weight and get down to 120. My DH, who is tall, said that he wants me to only get down to 140. He says he would be scared to hug me if I weighed less than that. Even though I desire something different I want to be pleasant to what makes him happy.
Agreeable to the higher nature I believe means you are concerned about his spirituality. One way we as wives can help our DH is to have our Bible time and Pray, pray,and pray for him. I heard the story of an evangalist who felt as if he was a failure. He was going to a meeting and did not tell his wife but he was calceling all of the other meetings. This was to be his last one. She did not tell her husband but she had decided this time to pray and fast for him as he was preaching. The Lord heard her prayers and reached down and touched her Husband with His power. Many were saved and he stayed in the ministry I think we as wives forget that we have a heavenly father that will intercede ofr us if we only ask.
I will post more on this tomorrow. May God have His guiding hand on this Bible study.
