Hoe to a Wife Matthew 1:5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse, I value being a wife! Wife back in the day for me wasnt even an option i was a loose woman. So for me going backwards would be crazy. Its like downgrading back to where i use to be. For me being a wife is a high honor. I dont always have the best wifely days and marriage can be hard. But no I would never for a second want to trade in my wife card back for my hoe card..
