Compassion is the ability to understand another person's emotional state and to walk beside them in whatever they are dealing with. A compassionate wife will empathize with your struggles and those of others around her. Proverbs 31:20 shows the beauty of compassion towards others. This quality reflects God's love and can significantly impact you, your family life, and your community. Look for someone who shows kindness to strangers, cares for those in need, and is quick to forgive. We see compassion right next to forgiveness as one of the Christlike qualities Paul lists in Ephesians 4:32. If you find yourself in a relationship with someone who cannot forgive, I only have one piece of advice…run. You cannot survive in a marriage where your spouse will not forgive you. You will never be perfect. You will need her forgiveness.
You will also need her compassion. When my dad died, Nancy and I were married for 29 years. My dad and I were very close. We had worked together for 13 years before I went to seminary. He supported me in everything I did. The pain of his death was something I could not even describe. Dad died on a Sunday and on Monday, we met with the church and funeral home to make all the arrangements. Late that afternoon, we came home and I laid down on our bed. As waves of grief rolled over me, Nancy came and laid down beside me. She did not say anything. She was just there and that was exactly what I needed. Her empathy and compassion were invaluable. That is just one of many examples of how I have seen her compassionate heart make a difference in our marriage. Look for that in a future wife.
Prayer:
Father, please bring me a wife with a compassionate heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
