Sometimes when I am relaxing or enjoying a moment of leisure with my wife I lean back, put my hands behind my back (like when laying down on a hammock) and say, “Its good to be KING!”. Partly for humorous reasons, to aggravate my wife, and to express a mock pride of being in ‘control’ and loving it.
But the last time my wife started laughing and I said, “Why do you laugh, its biblical!” and I proceeded to put on my best religious pios-ness (if thats a word)….she just looked at me like ‘Yeah, RIGHT!’ (with a sarcastic hint, if thats possible all in one look).
Here’s the proof:
Proverbs 11:4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
What man wears a crown but the King? And since I think my wife is of noble character, she is the crown that makes me King.
Don’t you just hate it when people quote scripture to prove a point?! (saying this in humor, laughing)
Nigel always says to me, “that’s ‘doctor’ to you”. To which I reply, “well, that’s master to you”. Ha ha!
