A GOOD WIFE: according to the Bible
75
Nagging, complaining, unfaithful wife
Pro 19:13 A foolish son brings disgrace to his father. A nagging wife goes on and on like the drip, drip, drip of the rain.
Pro 21:9 It's better to stay outside on the roof of your house than to live inside with a nagging wife.
Pro 21:19 It's better out in the desert than at home with a nagging, complaining wife.
Pro 25:24 It's better to stay outside on the roof of your house than to live inside with a nagging wife.
Pro 27:15 The steady dripping of rain and the nagging of a wife are one and the same.
Pro 27:16 It's easier to catch the wind or hold olive oil in your hand than to stop a nagging wife.
A good, helpful wife
Pro 12:4 A helpful wife is a jewel for her husband, but a shameless wife will make his bones rot.
Pro 31:10 A truly good wife is the most precious treasure a man can find!
If you continue reading Pro 31: 11-31, you can see the descriptions and qualities:
- her husband depends on her
- she never lets her husband down
- she is good to her husband every day of her life
- she is hard-working
- she invests wisely
- she helps the poor and needy
- she is prepared for every season
- her husband is respected
- her words are sensible and her advice is thoughtful
- she takes care of her family and her servants
- her children and husband are proud of her
How or where can you find a good wife?
Pro 18:22 A man's greatest treasure is his wife-- she is a gift from the LORD.
Pro 19:14 You may inherit all you own from your parents,
but a sensible wife is a gift from the LORD.
You can not find a good wife because it is given as a gift from GOD. So, if you have a good wife, then you should be thankful that you received a blessing from God.
When God has blessed you with a good
wife, then you should be faithful to her, respect and be happy with
her all the days of your life.
Respect your wife, love your wife
Heb
13:4 Have respect for marriage. Always be faithful to your
partner, because God will punish anyone who is immoral or unfaithful
in marriage.
Col 3:19 A husband must love his wife and not abuse her.
Enjoy being with your wife
Ecc 9:9 Life is short, and you love your wife, so enjoy being with her. This is what you are supposed to do as you struggle through life on this earth.
wife's duty as a follower of the Lord
Col 3:18 A wife must put her husband first. This is her duty as a follower of the Lord.
1Pe 3:1 If you are a wife, you must put your husband first. Even if he opposes our message, you will win him over by what you do. No one else will have to say anything to him,

May the Lord help us young people,lets wait on Him
Well, GOD has given my wife to me,not married yet..but i'm working on it. i've spent my life in hurt from one main girl because of my own disobedience to GOD. so yes i paid dearly, but my mighty GOD..Jesus christ guided me as i prayed to be released from a dradful soul tye..and as i fasted and prayed to find the right one this time..i learned little by little that a true soul mate is given not found. the girl GOD gave me was one i thought would be above my league..but she was my good friend..someone i didn't even bother to think on because u kno..she'd never go for me blah blah blah..but as i prayed and GOD revealed things to me, HE'D caution me to keep certain things in my mind..because d devil is like a roaring lion(like) seeking whom he may devour. untill eventually i found out she liked me since we first..lol GOD is truely a GOD of purpose and destiny. I've also learned this,everyones experience is different so don't expect it to be like "Tom's" just stay connected to the sourse and the sourse will do ya good..because the lord is the sourse..JESUS. BLESSINGS...Leonardo, kingston.Jamaica
