I noticed recently that someone commenting on one of my friend's facebook posts had the name "Trophy Wife" instead of their name. It got me thinking about the term and the meaning of it.
Usually when someone is deemed a trophy wife, it is because they are beautiful, sexy, and often have a very shapely, fit body such as models or movie stars. The term is intended at times to be negative. Often they are viewed as not very bright and only as a trophy for the husband to make him the envy of his friends and coworkers.
I think every wife should be considered a trophy wife by their husband. After all, they loved them enough to marry them and must have at the time of the wedding been attracted to them physically. As love grows and deepens over time, the wife's inner beauty should shine through and make them even more attractive to their husbands, even if weight has changed or wrinkles have started appearing. There should be enough history between the two and so much loved built up that each husband ought to feel his wife is a trophy God has rewarded him with. Isn't that what a trophy is?....a prize put on display to admire?
Ladies should think of themselves as that trophy and do all they can to remain shiny and spiffy and someone that can be shown off. Let's not allow ourselves to become dusty and grimy and tarnished over time. Use your strengths to keep your shininess going. Help your husband to want to show you off like a trophy!
If someone asks if you are a trophy wife....smile and say "yes"!
