House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
House and riches may pass down as an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord. Prudence in choosing a life companion is seen in godly character joined with diligence, honesty, wisdom, kindness, and faithful care for the household.
The one chosen to share life should possess a godly, honest, diligent, and ennobling character and be fitted to share its burdens. Such a wife can be trusted and does her husband good all the days of her life. She opens her mouth with wisdom and kindness, watches faithfully over her household, and is honored by her children and praised by her husband.
