Proverbs 31:10-31 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar....     

If you find an excellent wife, do nothing to her that would break her spirits down. It's all I have ever wanted since I can remember, to be an excellent wife... and yet, only to have selfish men, arrogant men, do everything they could to break me down, to suit their own selfish needs. Those times are over.... Praise God!
