Did you choose wisely, and do you honour what you chose?
This is not about critiquing wives. It is about cherishing covenant.
Song of Solomon warns about the little foxes that spoil the vineyard — not the disasters, the small things left unattended. Contempt that starts as a joke. Affection that quietly stops being protected. The way a man talks about his wife when she is not in the room is usually the truest measure of whether he is still fighting for her or has started fighting with her.
