The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make  a helper suitable for him." (Genesis 2:18) Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you. (Genesis 3:16) Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11:3) Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. (Ephesians 5:24) Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:22) Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. (Colossians 3:18) Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. (1 Peter 3:3-4) I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. (1 Timothy 2:9-10) Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. (I Peter 3:1-2) A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. (Proverbs 12:4) Houses and wealth are inherited from parents., but a prudent wife is from the LORD. (Proverbs 19:14) In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything. (1 Timothy 3:11) A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. (Proverbs 31:10-11) She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. (Proverbs 31:25-27) Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
