The Joy of a Good Wife

26Happy is the husband of a good wife;
   the number of his days will be doubled.
² A loyal wife brings joy to her husband,
   and he will complete his years in peace.
³ A good wife is a great blessing;
   she will be granted among the blessings of the man who fears the Lord.
⁴ Whether rich or poor, his heart is content,
   and at all times his face is cheerful.

The Blessing of a Good Wife

¹³ A wife’s charm delights her husband,
   and her skill puts flesh on his bones.
¹⁴ A silent wife is a gift from the Lord,
   and nothing is so precious as her self-discipline.
¹⁵ A modest wife adds charm to charm,
   and no scales can weigh the value of her chastity.
¹⁶ Like the sun rising in the heights of the Lord,
   so is the beauty of a good wife in her well-ordered home.
