"...gaining wisdom and instruction;
for understanding words of insight;

and let the discerning get guidance-..."(NIV Proverbs 1:1-5)

It is not from some flaw in marriage itself which God gave to mankind.The writer of Proverbs has two other Scriptures on a wife with a 'acrostic poem' in the Hebrew language in Proverbs 31:10-31 ('The Virtuous Wife') that is suggested reading. The other is Proverbs 12:4 speaking of the 'excellent' wife being the 'crown of her husband.'Proverbs 18:22New International Version (NIV)22 He who finds a wife finds what is goodand receives favor from the Lord.
