2. Stand by his/her side and protect his/her honor through thick and thin.
Proverbs 17:17a
A friend is always loyal…
As spouses, we should be the ones to come to each others’ defense the fastest. We need to protect their reputation by watching how we talk about them. We know our spouse better than anyone else…the good AND the bad. This means we promote the good we see in him/her, and we don’t tear them down in public or on social media to let everyone know his/her shortcomings. We should be the most loyal person in our spouse’s life.
