It was customary that a man marry an honorable woman, and he learned to love her. We could all learn a bit...
Sorry for posting such a long chapter in Proverbs, but it just speaks for it's self.
31:10 Who can find a wife of noble character? For her value is far more than rubies.
31:11 The heart of her husband has confidence in her,and he has no lack of gain.
31:12 She brings him good and not evil all the days of her life.
31:13 She obtains wool and flax, and she is pleased to work with her hands.
31:14 She is like the merchant ships; she brings her food from afar.
31:15 She also gets up while it is still night, and provides food for her household and a portion to her female servants.
31:16 She considers a field and buys it; from her own income she plants a vineyard.
31:17 She begins her work vigorously, and she strengthens her arms.
31:18 She knows that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out in the night.
31:19 Her hands take hold of the distaff, and her hands grasp the spindle.
31:20 She extends her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hand to the needy.
31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all of her household are clothed with scarlet.
31:22 She makes for herself coverlets; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
31:23 Her husband is well-known in the city gate when he sits with the elders of the land.
31:24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
31:25 She is clothed with strength and honor, and she can laugh at the time to come.
31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue.
31:27 She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.
31:28 Her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also praises her:
31:29 “Many daughters have done valiantly, but you surpass them all!â€Â
31:30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
31:31 Give her credit for what she has accomplished, and let her works praise her in the city gates.
