A prudent wife...

Marriage Tip #17 - Wives, be a gift from the Lord who makes her husband's life better.

...the contentions of a wife are a constant dripping...
but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Proverbs 19:13b, 14b

Two definitions are helpful for understanding these phrases:

contentions - contest, quarrel, brawling, discord, strife
prudent - careful, cautious, intelligent, guides wisely, skillful, expert, consider, understands, wise, instructs, behaves

Contentious?  This wife is annoying and can drive her husband and children crazy (constant dripping).
Prudent?  This wife is a gift from the Lord and makes her husband's and children's lives better.

Crafts

My oldest daughter recently threw a baby shower for a good friend.  She's the artist of the family so the decorations, gift and food were creative and wonderful.  One of the first things she made for decorations were scrapbook paper roses. She found the idea on Pinterest.  So cute!
