Attributes and Relationships, Thursday, May 24, 2012

Today's reading in Proverbs covers a number of relationship issues.  The most colorful descriptions are in the category of "quarrelsome wife".  Solomon preferred several punishments over living with such a wife.  A beautiful woman lacking discretion is also compared unfavorable similes.  I was not able to find a suitable image of a gold ring in a pig's snout, so I settled for a definition of discretion:

dis·cre·tion/disˈkreSHən/

Noun:

The quality of behaving or speaking in such a way as to avoid causing offense or revealing private information. The freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation.
