A Noble Wife

A wife of noble character is not one who works to "appear" noble on the outside, while lacking depth of character on the inside.

A wife of noble character is more interested in developing inner spiritual qualities that glorify God.  Her growth is steady and secure.

A wife who is acting a role without depth, will not remain "noble", rather she will eventually become weary of the pretense and begin to regress into ungodly behavior.

A wife who is of noble character is full of light, since her character is deeply ingrained in her soul, she will not regress, she continues to grow in holiness.

The roots of righteousness in the righteous wife are deeply rooted in the Holy Spirit drinking in the water of the Word, growing strong and tall in spirit. 

The roots of the pretender are shallow, easily dried up at the first sign of drought.  Since fleshly effort becomes tiresome, she does not continue on the narrow path of spiritual growth, but regresses into worldly thinking, even becoming bitter and angry, blaming others for her regression.

Proverbs 31
