We shouldn’t forget her husband. This is an important detail that must not be overlooked in searching for a spouse. In an age when there are so many things to waste money on, it’s so important to be careful with money. The saying, “A fool and his money are soon parted” is not word for word from the Bible. However, the Book of Proverbs and others have many wise sayings about money.
The Shunammite woman’s life would have been much harder if her husband had wasted it back then. Many of today’s things weren’t there, but alcohol was. Seeing what a person spends his or her money on is very important. Of course, one can have fun, but why spend on things that hurt your body? It is the temple of the Holy Spirit – we’re supposed to take care of it. And, it is very easy to have fun without drinking.
