“Happy the husband of a really good wife;
the number of days will be doubled.
A perfect wife is the joy of her husband,
he will live out the years of his life in peace.
A good wife is the best of portions, reserved for those who fear the Lord;
rich or poor, they will be glad of heart, cheerful of face whatever the season.
The grace of a wife will charm her husband,
her accomplishments will make him the stronger.
A silent wife is a gift from the Lord,
no price can be put on a well-trained character.
A modest wife is a boon twice over,
a chaste character cannot be weighed on scales.
Like the sun rising over the mountains of the Lord
is the beauty of a good wife in a well-kept house.”
- Ecclesiasticus 26 : 1-4,13-16
I saw this on Melody Chen's blog, and this is what her husband chose to recite during their wedding aniversary. This is what a guy could possibly look for in a woman to be his life partner.
-one who fears the Lord
-one who has grace for husbands misdeeds
-one who isn't naggy (silent wife)
-one who has chastity kept well
-one who modest
-one who keeps the house well
Haha...!!!
