A virtuous woman is a devoted and vision-filled woman – who seeks the will of God for her life and that of others. 7 CHARACTERISTICS OF A VIRTUOUS WOMAN. 1. She is Godly: A virtuous woman serves God in spirit and in truth. She serves Him with her body also and follows His ways. 2. She is chaste: This is portrayed in her attitude of fidelity as she keeps herself for one person in a reserved lifestyle. She is trustworthy and ideal in marriage. 3. She is industrious: A virtuous woman works willingly with her hands, does the right thing at the right time and does not grumble while completing her tasks. |

4. She is neat: The bible says that cleanliness is next to Godliness. As such, a virtuous woman cares for her body as he keeps her family and surrounding clean. 5. She is an altruist: A virtuous woman uses hospitality to minister to those around her. She reaches out to the poor and needy as she is not selfish. 6. She is mothering: She teaches her children the ways of God, nurtures them with the love of Christ and disciplines whem with care and wisdom. She is a good mother and wife. 7. She talks less: A virtuous woman is not a talkative. She opens her mouth in wisdom and her tongue is the law of kindness. Finally, a virtuous woman is a woman of worth and beauty who doesn’t walk aimlessly but uses her time wisely. She is patient, diligent, benevolent, humble and kind. And above all, she is a woman of LOVE; for this is the greatest of all. Source: http://christcenteredhomemag.com/virtuous-woman-prince-ifoh/
