p.31:17

Proverbs 31:17 She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.

After reading various books in regards to partners, relationships, marriage, I have come to realize this with this God's help,strength for a woman comes ONLY, I must repeat, ONLY, when she trusts God.

Selah.

While a single lady trusts God to choose her husband, a married lady trusts God and shows her trust in God when she does what God tells her she as a wife must do and lets God (by trusting God) to help her husband do his part. She doesn't nag at him to suggest a change of/in him. Do your part (obey) and let God do His part in your husband's life.

Words that stand out:

She girds - she acts upon girding herself

definition
girds: enclose/encircles/secure with a belt or band

In other words, it could read, from what we have seen...

she [encloses/encircles/secures] herself with [trusting God]...

see God's goodness for you?

there is security for us in God's commands for us. <3

ps: the part of strengthens her arms ... reminded me personally to lift weights, for thats what i've been wanting to make part of my routine, jijiji :P OHH and wanting to let you guys know, since I mentioned that I've been getting knowledge, and with God's grace, maybe even a little wisdom, with books I've read, in regards to relationships. But I know it must be harder than I know or maybe imagine - marriage. I must say, Im not a pro, not that anyone is even if married, but, I am NOT married yet so, if anything, I hope to just shine a little insight into womens lives, married or not. I mean, maybe an outside perspective helps (thats me), plus, 1 Timothy 4:12 states

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit,[a] in faith, in purity.

Shalom.
