Bible Verses for Wives

Scripture honors a wife of noble character as worth far more than rubies and clothed with strength and dignity, and it speaks plainly about her calling in marriage. These passages hold both.

When to say them. Say them in the morning, when you pray for your husband, and when marriage is hard.
