  2. Proverbs 31:10–13 Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands.

  4. Catherine Von BoraAKA—Katie Luther (Martin’s wife!) • After their first year of marriage Luther wrote, “My Katie is in all things so obliging and pleasing to me that I would not exchange my poverty for the riches of Croesus.“ • He also wrote, “There is no bond on earth so sweet, nor any separation so bitter, as that which occurs in a good marriage”

  7. A Godly Woman has an ever expandingfamily circle(20-21) • Proverbs 31:20–21, “She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet. • James 1:27, “Pure and undefiled religion is this, to visit orphans and widows in their trouble…” • Is your home a place of hope and provision for those who enter your doors? • Is your home a force for hope and provision in your sphere of influence? • Have you considered adoption, foster parenting?

  8. A Godly Woman is marked by dignity and respect(11, 22-31) • trust – מַבְטִיחִי-- The root of the word batah means to lie extended on the ground. It appears this word carries the idea of putting oneself at the complete mercy of another. The root is also used in connection with trusting in God. • Can your husband and family trust wholly in your commitment and competency to the family? • Is your life clothed with works and words of dignity and respect?

  9. The Proverbs 31 woman is intended to portray not a super-woman but rather a universal woman; she is the ideal woman, in the ideal home, in the ideal society.
