A woman such as this is priceless: her value is far above rubies. Her husband will exalt her, praise her, love her, give up his life for her, and her children will call her blessed. The man that finds such a woman is truly undeserving of such an honor, as God has bestowed upon him a blessing only few will find.
Melissa of http://niednagel.com/blog.htm started her own "corner" ...Some question that girls who have only lived at home will really be prepared for the “real world.” A real woman should already be living in the real world, whether orphaned, abandoned, widowed, or part of a loving family. Those of us blessed with happy families and comfortable homes shouldn’t use them as a buffer zone from the concerns of the real world, any more than as an excuse to be lazy and incompetent. It would be great if every girl knew how to manage a schedule, plan meetings, buy groceries, pay the bills, defend her faith to antagonists, balance the check-book, take a plane, start a business, give a presentation, change a tire, buy a house, make clothes, deal with emergencies, butcher a chicken, write a book, and learn any new thing as she needs to know it. Living in the real world is actually a great way to learn these real-world skills. Families do these kinds of things all the time, and girls who are very involved in their families’ affairs should get a lot of experience navigating the world the way real people do — even more than those who pay an exorbitant sum of money to learn so-called real-world skills in the artificial, insulated environment of a college campus…
…Work — even paid work — is not something a biblical woman resorts to just when times get tough. Let’s go back to our Proverbs 31 woman. By all measures today, her situation was perfect — successful husband (v23), disposable income (v16) — even maidservants! (v15). Yet what do we see her doing from the darkness of the early morning through the night? Laboring. Producing. Earning. Increasing. Even in her comfortable circumstances, she embraced the privilege of productive work, the holy dignity in labor that the Lord first demonstrated Himself. Of all her virtues (generosity, kindness, wisdom, etc.), this chapter spotlights one virtue more than any other: her industry…

A friend just researched how God describes women: help meet (Ge.2:18), wife (Ge.2:24), mother (Ge.3:20), fair (gen.12:11), willing hearted (ex.35:22), wise (ex.35:25), virgin (Lev.21:14), beautiful (Deut. 21:11), blessed (Jud.5:24), virtuous (Ru.3:11), of good understanding (1Sam.25:3), great (2Kings 4:8), fruitful (Ps.128:3), gracious (Pr.11:16), a crown to her husband (Pr.12:4), prudent (Pr.19:14), companion (Mal.2:14)
He says: I'm going to be looking at the difference in godly characteristics that God describes women, in contrast to men, as. It reveals a consistent theme throughout God's word of the complimentary distinctions between masculinity and femininity in a way that just referencing one chapter can't do. Another blast at feminism's destructive influence on the family.
