This write-up is based on the premise that, no man can find a virtuous woman; she is a gift from the lord.
[Proverbs 31:10; NIV]
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
[Proverbs 31:10; KJV]
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
If only you have ever pondered on the meaning of the above verse, if you have ever searched for a woman of noble traits, only then would you appreciate this write-up.
However, it is pertinent to note that across all cultures, it is believed that a woman of noble character is hard to come by, and men are ever ready to give their arm to have such a woman.
So, you must keep her if you have one.
Do you have a virtuous woman in your life?
Are you really a virtuous woman?
Well, you will have to read to the end before you can actually say YES or NO.
So, who exactly is a woman of noble character, a virtuous woman?
From my findings, a virtuous woman possesses the following traits:
She is always there for you at all times when you need her; she holds nothing back from you. There is this air of “I belong to my you alone” around her and everything she does.
Whenever she is with you, she cherishes every moment and seems very happy.
She never talks about your flaws to others. She tells you directly if she is offended.
She hides nothing from you. This trait is worth repeating, because openness is a major hallmark of love and seduction.
She trusts you completely, and you trust her, too.
She is never against you. She protects your image even when you are wrong.
She does not always wait for you to call before she calls. She calls often and initiates a talk.
She cares about your welfare by always checking on you to ensure you are doing well.
You are equally free to communicate all your feelings and emotions with her.
You feel so safe with her.

You also enjoy her company and you always want to be with her as much as you can.
She thinks you are the sexiest man alive.
In the novel, THE LAST DUTY, Aku exhibits this trait by repeatedly confessing her love for her man, Oshevire, a rubber tapper. She refuses to commit adultery because she believes her man is the best man to do it with.
You trust her and you are confident she will never cheat on you.
She makes you her priority; she gives you full access to her body.
She sees you as the man and respects you accordingly!
You have both trimmed your values to match.
She supports you in all things by making sacrifices for you and you do the same for her.
These traits are the traits of a virtuous woman. It may not be exhaustive, but it certainly speaks volume of a woman of noble character that everyone seeks.
However, the Holy Book has made it clear to us in [Proverbs 19:14 NIV] that:
“Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.”
Also, Solomon, the wisest man that has and will ever live, declares in [Eccl 7:28 CEV] that:
“... I do know there is one good man in a thousand but never have I found a good woman”
In other words, a good, virtuous woman, noble woman is a gift from God to a man who pleases HIM among other things.
So, as much as we all desire a noble woman, we cannot get her on our own except the LORD gives her to us.
That goes to mean that, for all those of you that have a noble woman in your life, God has, indeed blessed you!
