6. The Good Wife





  1. She is the helpful wife who possesses the fullness of
    domestic virtues and spends within her husband's means.

  2. Family life, however full, remains empty
    if the wife lacks the lofty culture of the home.

  3. What does a man lack if his wife is worthy?
    And what does he possess if she is lacking worth?

  4. What is more majestic than a woman
    who preserves the prodigious strength of chastity?

  5. Even the rains will fall at her command
    who upon rising worships not God, but her husband.

  6. A married woman is one who vigilantly guards herself,
    cares for her husband and protects their unblemished reputation.

  7. Why do guardians protect women by confinement
    when her own resolute chastity is a woman's best protection?

  8. A woman deeply devoted to the man who wed her
    will be worthy of great rewards in the world where Gods delight.

  9. Unless the wife pursues praise worthy purity,
    the husband cannot stride? prance before critics like a proud lion.

  10. It is said a worthy wife is the blessing of a home,
    and good children are its precious ornaments.
