Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

Commenting on Psalm 128:1-6
Thy wife. To reach the full of earthly felicity a man must not be alone. A helpmeet was needed in Paradise, and assuredly she is not less necessary out of it. He that findeth a wife findeth a good thing. It is not every man that feareth the Lord who has a wife; but if he has, she shall share in his blessedness and increase it.
Those who truly fear the Lord and walk in His ways are blessed now and shall be blessed forever. This blessing belongs to all saints universally and to each particular person in his private interests: it shall be well with him.
