A Good Wife

A good wife is heaven's last, best gift to man, - his gem of many virtues, his casket of jewels; her voice is sweet music, her smiles his brightest day, her kiss the guardian of his innocence, her arms the pale of his safety, her industry his surest wealth, her economy his safest steward, her lips his faithful counsellors, her bosom the softest pillow of his cares.

[Jeremy Taylor]





Proverbs 19:14 ... House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.


Proverbs 18:22 ... Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.


Ephesians 5:33 ... Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.


Psalm 128:3 ... Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. ❤
