A Virtuous Wife....

PROVERBS 31

DESCRIBES THE VIRTUOUS WIFE


Who can find a virtuous wife?

For her worth is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband safely trusts her;

So he will have no lack of gain.

She does him good and not evil

all the days of her life.

Proverbs 31:10-12


EXAMPLE OF WHAT A WOMAN

SHOULD BE


How much better the world would be if we as women

strove to meet these qualifications. And men looked for

women for their wives with these attributes. It seems that

many marriages these days do not last too long because

one or the other of the partners did not qualify to be called virtuous.

What does virtuous mean? It means, moral, ethical, honest, noble,

upright, pure and good. Instead of those qualities, it

seems that a person is attracted to coarseness and flashy flesh.

The greatest part of the virtuous woman is that she is usually

beautiful as well as all the other virtues listed.

We should strive to allow the beauty on the inside to press

through to the outside. A man with a trustworthy wife will

prosper in all areas of his life because she is an asset and not

a liability. She is open and honest with him. He never has

to fear that she will do something to harm him or his

reputation. A man with a virtuous wife brings him respect

among his peers. He never has to wonder what is going

on with her behind the scenes because he knows that

she is trustworthy and honest in all her dealings.

THIS IS WHAT A MAN SHOULD

LOOK FOR IN A WIFE
