Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
This does not mean we are all supposed to go get jobs in the construction industry. Neither does it mean that we all get to have a house built to our specifications!
It means that if we are wise, we will contribute to the stability of our homes. Our husbands, if we're married, will be able to trust us and depend on us to carry our share of the load. We will do all in our power to keep our marriages strong. Our homes, whether they be mansions or camper trailers, will be refuges of peace.
But, if we are foolish, we will gripe and complain. We will let the house fall down around our heads, and our husbands will choose to be anywhere but home.
How do we get that wisdom? "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." Prov. 9:10.
Then what will happen? "Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised." Prov. 31:30.
