Proverbs 19:14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Here is Webster’s 1828 dictionary’s definition of prudent.
PRU'DENT, a. Cautious; circumspect; practically wise; careful of the consequences of enterprises, measures or actions; cautious not to act when the end is of doubtful utility, or probably impracticable.
What a great goal…to be a prudent wife and mother. So often we act and react through emotions. We need to be cautious of the words that we speak and the actions take especially toward our family. So often we put on an act around others and treat our family badly. Our family is the most important group of people that we influence. They should see our best, not our worst. I like the definition “practically wise”. We have a lot to live up to with just one verse.
