Finding a Wife

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.

Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”

A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but she who causes shame is like decay in his bones.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

A wife of noble character, who can find? She is far more precious than rubies.

Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
