| The charge in vv. 1-20 is to hold marriage in honor (Heb. 13:4 and note 1). In holding marriage in honor, the man’s faithfulness is the base, and the woman’s virtues are the building up (12:4a; 14:1a; 31:10-31). This is one of the principles in Proverbs for man to live a proper human life (see note 71, par. 1, in ch. 1).
