(Proverbs 31: 23, AMP)
Why is the virtuous woman's husband respected at the city gate? Is it because of his wife's conduct or is it because of HIS conduct?
I'll love to hear from you on this but I'll go ahead and give my perspective on this. I believe it's a combination of both but more of the responsibility lies on the husband. The man that will be respected at the city gate has to first and foremost respect himself then the conduct of his wife will be looked at while confirming if he truly deserves to seat with elders.
The way I see it, a poorly behaved man will NOT be considered worthy to sit among the elders of the city in a reasonable society, no matter how well behaved the wife is.
A well-behaved man may be nominated but disqualified due to his wife's misbehavior. A well-behaved man with a well-behaved, virtuous wife will take his seat, among the elders of the land at the city gate.
I'll love us to rub minds on this point. I trust the day is going well.
