Overview

The Bible describes marriage as a covenant relationship where the wife holds a position of honor and purpose. God's Word addresses the wife's role in managing the household, her worth as a partner, and the mutual obligations within marriage. The wife is presented as a capable helpmeet whose work, wisdom, and care are essential to family flourishing.

Key Scriptures

"An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels" (Proverbs 31:10, NASB). "She looks for wool and flax and works with her hands in delight" (Proverbs 31:13, NASB). "Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land" (Proverbs 31:23, NASB).

Application

Couples should recognize that biblical marriage involves mutual respect, with the wife stewarding her gifts and responsibilities as a vital partner in building a godly home.
