The Bible says that an exemplary wife is more valuable than rubies. An exemplary wife deserves respect and admiration, especially from her husband. No woman is perfect, but the Bible shows how to be an exemplary wife.

1. A good wife loves God

A Woman who fears the Lord is to be Praised - Proverbs 31:30

God is always first in the life of an exemplary wife. She knows that God is more important than anything else and wants to obey His commandments. The exemplary wife places her marriage in God's hands.

2. A good wife respects her husband

love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.- Ephesians 5:33

An exemplary wife seeks her husband's well-being and does not try to tear him down. She respects her husband and does not attempt to humiliate him. She is the partner he can trust, ready to help and stand by his side.

3. A good wife is hopeful

She is clothed with strength and dignity - Proverbs 31:25

An exemplary wife knows that God is in control of all things. In difficult times, she finds strength in God and is not overwhelmed by despair. She trusts God to take care of her family.

4. A good wife is hardworking

She sets about her work vigorously - Proverbs 31:17a

Marriage is a team effort. Each person needs to do their part. An exemplary wife works in harmony with her husband to support the family. For some wives, this means dedicating themselves to household tasks; for others, it means doing good work at a job.

5. A good wife is prudent

a prudent wife is from the Lord. Proverbs 19:14b

Prudence means being sensible and wise. The exemplary wife seeks wisdom and examines things carefully. She has the wisdom to teach and give advice. A husband who listens to the advice of an exemplary wife is wise.

May God bless all exemplary wives.
