"The heart of her husband trusteth in her"

What makes one a virtuous wife? Share your ideas on what makes a holy wife, a loving wife, a serving wife, a Godly wife, a Catholic wife.


The perfect wife strives to bring her husband closer to God. She works hard to aid him on the road to holiness. There must be great respect for his headship. She does not grumble, complain or murmur when he makes a decision. She respects him and serves him. She owes him a debt which the Church calls the "marital debt". She bears his children and raises them to heaven. She protects what is his in the practice of modesty. She does all in the best interest of her husband and this is why he trusts in her.
