Lemuel's mother clearly advised his son on the ideal character of a good wife, a noble woman. Proverbs 31 Woman. This, in return, has been used severally in different settings to advise women on how to become the Proverbs 31 Woman. Men, on their side have also been advised and encouraged to marry such a woman in order to have a good marriage and a good life.
However, in this contemporary world it might be difficult to get such a woman. It has been doubted whether Proverbs 31 Woman does exist. But the truth of the matter is that, she does exist. She can be found. She is there. One thing as a man that you need to ask yourself is that, "Am I worthy to have this woman as my wife? Do I have what it takes to keep her?"
The personality of Proverbs 31 Woman is well known to most of us. And just to recap, a noble woman is priceless: she is worth more than rubies. She trusts her husband completely. A helper to a man. Hardworking. Wise.
Having that in mind, do you as a man have what it takes to have her as your wife? Are you a Noble Man?
As a noble woman is priceless worth more than rubies, a noble man should be one with his own principles and discipline. He who is not easily swayed by his peers. One with a noble character.
A noble woman does trust her husband. With her heart. With her thoughts and everything that she owns. And as a noble man you too should be in a position to trust your wife as well. It is two-way traffic.
When God created Eve from the rib of Adam, she was created to be his companion. To be his helper. As a noble man, you need to help her as well. Offer a helping hand when she's overwhelmed with chores in the house.
A noble man is respectful and a protector. Adam was created with stronger ribs than Eve to protect her and not to hit her. When you respect your woman, you will not raise your hand on her. As wives are urged to be submissive to their husbands, the husbands are urged to respect their wives and love them as Christ loves the Church. You protect her image. You do not speak ill of her to the society. Protect your family.
Be a wise man. Your family can seek advice from you. Lead your family in prayer, in knowing the word of God and abiding by it.
Well this is what a noble woman wants. Someone who is as noble as she is. She does not want her efforts to go down the drain because of marrying wrong. Not having a noble man as her partner.
Because a Noble Woman deserves a Noble Man...
Wow, a great piece. Lovely
