The Character of a Godly Wife.
1. A GODLY WIFE IS GODLY. (Proverbs 18:22)
Godliness begins with a proper relationship with God. A godly wife is, first and foremost, a woman who fears God.
2. A GODLY WIFE IS WISE (Proverbs 9:13)
You will recall that wisdom is personified as a woman in the Book of Proverbs (cf. 1:20-33; 8:1-36; 9:1-6). So also, the ideal wife is characterized as a woman of wisdom.
3. A GODLY WIFE HONORS HER HUSBAND (Proverbs 12:4)
A man who has married a godly wife has a wife who will bring honours to him. She is truly a helper to her husband.
4. A GODLY WIFE IS GRACIOUS (Proverbs 11:16-31)
One reason honours are given to the godly woman is that she is known for her graciousness.
5. A GODLY WIFE IS FAITHFUL TO HER HUSBAND (Proverbs 2: 16-17)
This is most clearly shown by contrast with the woman of folly who is an adulteress.
