CHARACTERISTICS OF A GODLY WOMAN

SHE IS TRUSTWORTHY 

The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life (Proverbs 31:11–12). 

This passage aptly summarizes what a man should look for in a wife and what a woman who desires to be married should strive to become. Here is a woman who will attract respect in her own right as well as complement her husband’s path; she will not detract, but substantively foster a blessed marriage all the days of her life. 

Every woman should strive to develop these seven qualities, and every man should seek to find these qualities in his wife. 

How does this description apply to you— especially if you are called to public service as a young, unmarried man?
