Proverbs 31:10-31:31
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

I mean, we can all grown and develop...but your character and values are usually pretty set by adulthood.
at yet another "Christian" ministry that takes it upon itself to educate our half of the human race on what it takes to be a godly/good/esteem-worthy woman. Some churches nowadays are naught more than gender-issue incubators. If it's not about The Virtuous Wife, it's about "Christian headship in marriage," with men as "the head," or women needing to "keep silent in the church' by not pastoring men, or...
Some women are still out here thinking, "I want a rich man" or "I want a man with high standing in the community..." but they are not interested in seeing the potential in a man. Heck, wasn't President Obama sill in law school when he stepped to Michelle (who was a practicing lawyer for a major firm in Chicago at that time...)? She had to see the potential in where he was going. She had the wisdom not to write him off as a "broke ***" law school student...
erplexed I find it utterly ridiculous that grown women would think that they would not need to be prepared for marriage as well. Maybe if we had better preparation for both parties entering into marriage, the divorce rate wouldn't be what it is...even in the Church.
