God in his wisdom teaches us in this chapter about relationships in the family. The husband trusts his wife, who is a very capable woman. He knows that she stands beside him. He is the leader, and she accepts his leadership because that is God's will.
She is worthy that her husband trust her completely because she does not reward him with evil but only with good throughout her lifetime. She does not speak badly of him to her friends if things are difficult, because "she just has to get it out and complain because she can't stand it any longer."
Neither does she ever lie to him. Whatever she does, she does in consultation with him, and he can trust her because he knows what she is doing.
"She brings home food from out-of-the-way places, as merchant ships do" (Prov 31:14). She is actually handling the money and managing the household. She has proven herself, and in his love for her, her husband demonstrates that he trusts her and does not hesitate to entrust her with their property.
"She gets up before daylight to prepare food for her family . . . She looks at land and buys it, and with money she has earned she plants a vineyard . . . She spins her own thread and weaves her own cloth" (31:15- 19). She works hard, manages her house, her children, the purchases for the home, even the income.
"Her husband is well known, one of the leading citizens" (31:23). Her husband "sits in the gate." Perhaps he is a politician or an administrator. Perhaps he serves the people who live in the city. He can dedicate time to this service because his wife is his helper.
For his part, the husband doesn't forget to praise his wife, that all may know that his wife respects him and that he loves her and all she does.
The chapter also reminds us women that our job is to stand alongside our husband to help him, that he is the head, the leader in the family.
And the men? The stronger a leader you are, the more you will honor the wife who stands beside you, the more you will trust her. You will not forget to give her thanks and a good word, to praise the good work she does at home and raising the children. And all of that so that together you will glorify God.
