p31:10

Proverbs 31:10 - Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.

Words that stand out: Find, Virtuous, Wife, Worth, Above rubies

I don't think it can be said any better, but will see more in detail what this entails. This speaks to me in regards that the man must do the seeking of a virtuous wife in order to FIND this virtuous wife.

The wife must be virtuous (will see more of what this looks like in the verses to follow this proverb).

Wife: meaning not a fling, a girlfriend (part time, no commitment), a partner, etc. I mean, if you are going to work at being this virtuous wife, should'nt there be commitment (I am not talking about having a ball of a wedding - but I will suggest that you would please God if you marry the person you are one with) - this topic can be discussed in a later exposition.

Worth: she is precious (see 1 Peter 3:3-4) to God, and above rubies (yes ladies above rubies! it seems that this was written more to communicate her importance to us ladies... you know what i mean.)

meditate.
