Psalm 128:3-4, The Happy Home of the Faithful II

Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
Thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the Lord.
— Psalm 128:3-4

More patriarchy. Sigh. I’d like to rewrite this. Just because I can.

Your spouse will be a true partner to yoy
   in every way;
Should you choose to have children,
you will work together in harmony
   to nurture your children for their flourishing.
Thus shall every person be blessed
   who heeds God’s call to live for one another in love.

What does a faithful and happy home look like to me?
