The following scripture paints the most beautiful picture of a home life of dreams.
"Through skillful and godly wisdom is a house, a home, a life, a family built, and by understanding it is established on a sound and good foundation. And by knowledge shall its chambers of every area be filled with all pleasant and precious riches." Proverbs 24: 3-4
To build beautiful relationships that are strong and mutually beneficial, to build a home life that builds us up and strengths us, that fills us with joy and meets our needs, we must use wisdom in the things we say and do. In any difficult, challenging or unfulfilling areas of our relationships, we must pray and ask God for wisdom in how we should view the other person and how we should view our own needs. Learning that God is loving and willing to meet specific needs that we have that the others in our lives are not meeting is very freeing and comforting. God is our main Source for everything we need, and when we receive good things from and through others, this is like the icing on the cake! God is the cake, so to speak, the foundation, and he also uses others to support us and bless us the way he uses us to support and bless others, too. Pray for understanding for the other person whom you are in relationship with. We don't want to wait for and expect specific things from someone if that is not who and how God created them to be. The more you can understand someone else and give him or her grace and space to be themselves, the more you will love and enjoy that person, which over time will free him or her to love you and enjoy you more. The part about the home's chambers being filled in every area with all pleasant and precious riches, I believe to be an illustration of beautiful things like harmony in the home and in your relationships, peace, getting along, feeling joy and hope, making memories, forgiving, understanding and growing together.
