A Righteous and Praiseworthy Wife
“Who can find a virtuous (righteous) and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.”
According to the scriptures, a wife is created to be a helpmeet to her husband (Genesis 2:18), a crown to her husband (Proverbs 31:10), and the reflection of the glory of her husband (1 Corinthians 11:7).
The quote above, from the book of Proverbs, chapter 31, line 10 (New Living Translation), has made it known how priceless a Righteous Wife is. Next we need to know what makes a wife righteous, which are the traits and characteristics of a Righteous Wife, which in turn makes a Praiseworthy Wife. Here are the key characteristics of a Righteous Wife:
- A Righteous Wife Respects Her Husband.
Apostle Paul, in his epistle to the church in Ephesus, made mention of the wife giving reverence to her husband. She must give her husband the respect he deserves as the recognized head of the family, as written and taught in the epistles. A respectful wife is like a honeycomb in a home, the source of sweet savor and love. Every wife is of the same flesh and bones, but this respect gives an edge and makes a wife righteous and worthy of praise.
- A Righteous Wife Is Trustworthy.
A trustworthy wife is a praiseworthy wife. Trust is a trait in humans built over time. Notable actions will create the reasons for partners to trust each other. In Proverbs 31:11, it’s mentioned that a righteous wife makes the heart of her husband safely trust in her because he has been at the receiving end of her righteous and notable actions, which subsequently built his trust for her.
- A Righteous Wife Abstains from Adultery.
The main frame of marriage created by God right from the beginning is one man, one woman, not one man, one woman and a side partner. Therefore, a righteous wife gives honor to her marriage and remains faithful to her husband; there and then will she not be praiseworthy alone but also receive favor from her husband and God.
Humanly it might seem impossible to be righteous, but with God, all things are possible. By the special grace of God, I pray we all get the chance to have a righteous wife.
