When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls.
Her husband, entrusting his heart to her, has an unfailing prize.
She brings him good, and not evil, all the days of her life.
She obtains wool and flax and makes cloth with skillful hands.
Proverbs 31:10-13
I have been very lucky to have first hand experience with the truth of this scripture.
Curiously, I haven't found a similar passage about husbands. Maybe wives don't need to be told this truth as often?
