As a widow, formerly married to a Godly woman, I want to affirm and attest that indeed these are characteristics of a Godly woman. Throughout our fourteen year marriage and up until the Lord took her home, the magnitude of the treasure of a Godly wife was only made known to me after she passed.
Proverbs 31:10-30 amazingly summarizes the treasure of a Godly woman like this:
Men, pay close attention to verse 30 of Proverbs 31, charm is deceptive and beauty does not last, but the inner beauty and character of a Godly woman are more precious than all the rubies in the world. Knowing that your wife fears the Lord and walks in His ways is a never ending blessing for you and your family if you are married; cherish your Godly wife all the days of your lives together, as tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Men that are not married, look to Christ first and establish your walk with Him whom you owe your salvation. Then pray to the King of Glory to reveal to you who He has for you in marriage.
