PROVIDED/PROVIDING in cryptic crosswords usually means the letters IF (I will got out today PROVIDED it doesn't rain = I will go out today IF it doesn't rain. Geddit?) So "Partner we provided inside (4)" = WIFE However, in many clues, PROVIDED/PROVIDING/PROVIDES just means GIVES THE ANSWER, so don't get too carried away. If you enjoy my crosswords, you'll LOVE the Cryptic Mystic's fantastic YouTube channel, which has been kind enough to feature a couple of my crosswords and is THE best resource for cryptic beginners: https://www.youtube.com/@The_Cryptic_Mystic
