Series: How to Be Your Wife's Knight In Shining Armor

Song of Solomon 4:7-15
A couple came upon a wishing well. The wife leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny. The husband decided he would make a wish, too. As he leaned over, he leaned too far and fell into the well. The wife just stood there looking down into the well and then finally said, "Well, I'll be. It really works."
Husbands, let me ask you the same question that I asked you last week. Does your wife look at you as her knight in shining armor? Or does she have any wishes? I believe every wife wants and needs her husband to be her knight in shining armor, but unfortunately, that is not always the case.
