A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
What does Proverbs 12:4 mean?
A wife who is pious, prudent, and looks well to the ways of her household, who makes conscience of her duty, and can bear crosses; such a one is an honour and comfort to her husband.
