I will be sharing some splendid facts about a virtuous woman

A virtuous woman will be treasured by her husband
As we all know that a good wife is so rare and extraordinary, and a noble wife is a treasure to her husband – just like a ruby!
In what way can a virtuous woman be treasured by her husband??
**her affection with her husband will be uncomparable She will greatly loved the man who greatly loved her, and is going to be the basis of their wonderful marriage not even looking outside to other Man's wife.
Her Trustworthiness: Her husband could trust her completely; if she's trustworthy, honest, truthful and loyal, and he could rely totally upon her discretion.

**Be a loving mother to your children: you must put their needs above your own. Raise them according to a virtuous example and help them to develop into virtuous men and women and to be a good leaders of tomorow
**You need to nurture your children and attend to their needs, even when it requires self-sacrifice on your part. For instance, a virtuous woman and mother will attend to her ill child even if it means catching the bug herself, for example when my younger brother was still very small he had carthar but due to the fact he cant blow out the mucur himself mum need to blew it with her mouth and I was so surprise seeing her doing that , how many mothers of nowadays can attempt that??
You also need to discipline your children with care and wisdom so that they know the difference between right and wrong.

**Respect your husband, you need to love and listen to your husband. Your marriage is a partnership, and your husband is expected to respect you, as well, of course.
You do not need to obey your husband's every command, yea, bexause there a times he will also give worng order, but you need to be calm and let him know its wrong, and not that you should shout at him at that spot.. It is very wrong.. Butt if you married a man of character, he will not want to do anything to cause you harm. As long as this is true, then you need to at least respect your husband by discussing points of disagreement and considering his perspective before mutually reaching a conclusion.
Fidelity is another way for you to respect your husband. You need to be faithful to him, and must never cheat on him.

** You must be loved by your children
What a beautiful thing this is! Why did her children love her so much? - the bible tell us why.
Proverbs 31, 15: She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. Bible (KJV) https://goo.gl/BNTEmZ
Proverbs 31, 27: She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Bible (KJV) https://goo.gl/BNTEmZ
Furthermore she had three outstanding qualities:
Her thoughtfulness. She was self-effacing, always thinking of others. How different from many of today’s mothers who are self-centred and have no room or time for their children!

Her discipline (Proverbs 31, 27: She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Bible (KJV) https://goo.gl/BNTEmZ)We see here a woman who gathers her loose flowing garments tightly around her, drawing them up to leave her feet free so that she can go about her work unrestricted. This is a symbol of the disciplined life. She disciplined herself and knew how to discipline her children; that is one great reason why her children loved her. Children are not only better for it but they like the right kind of discipline!
Her wisdom (Proverbs 31, 26: She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. Bible (KJV) https://goo.gl/BNTEmZ) Ephesians 4:32. What a heritage to have a mother like this!
She was generous to her neighbours
There were those living nearby who were not so well placed as she was; they were poor (Proverbs 31, 20: She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. Bible (KJV) https://goo.gl/BNTEmZ)and notice that she showed her practical Christian grace towards them
She was pleasing to her Lord
The secret of this virtuous, noble woman is in (Proverbs 31, 30: Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Bible (KJV) https://goo.gl/BNTEmZ) What is it to fear the Lord? One writer has said that ‘godly fear is not a shrinking apprehension; it is love upon its knees’. She loved the Lord she desired in all things to please Him she endeavoured to obey Him, she served Him faithfully, she gave herself and her all to Him and she knew the meaning of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.Her husband could trust her completely; she was honest, truthful and loyal, and he could rely totally upon her discretion.
Her Affection: She greatly loved the man who greatly loved her, and this was the basis of this wonderful marriage.
Her Influence (proverb chapter 31: 23). When her husband sat in council with the elders of the land they always immediately associated him with his wife, because she was known to be such a beautiful and gracious lady.
Her industry What a busy woman she was! There was no chance of her getting bored. Many marriages suffer and the home life becomes disrupted because the wife is bored.
Her prudence She was wise, discreet and acted with forethought. She was a hard worker with creative gifts, a manufacturer who bought and sold, and she did all this with amazing business acumen.
Now for our young ladies
Let your outward beauty reflect your inward beauty. Maintaining inner beauty does not mean that you cannot look beautiful on the outside, as well. Beauty is harmonious, so if you are beautiful on the inside, you should take care of your body and treat it with enough respect so that others can glimpse your beauty, as well. If you ask most people what they find beautiful about a person, many of them will probably begin to describe someone’s physical characteristics. It usually goes something like this: “I like big eyes, long hair, muscles, and a nice butt....” Rarely do you hear someone reply, “What makes someone beautiful to me is their generosity, courage, kindness, and sense of humor.”
I have seen so many physically people who i didn't like because on the inside they were anything but conversely I have know some not-so-physically beautiful people who were such amazing people in the inside that you didn't even see their "imperfections"
In order for beauty to be whole, it should exist outwardly and inwardly. Your beauty shines in the way you treat yourself, others, and life itself. [1]
This does not mean that you need to be supermodel-pretty or hung up on your looks. It does mean that you should not be afraid to look your best. There is a certain amount of self-satisfaction one feels when looking in the mirror and liking what one sees. Loving yourself enough to strive for this sensation is a healthy and virtuous amount of outward beauty.

**Do not falter on your responsibilities. If you are given a task at school or work, finish it in a timely manner and without procrastinating.
Another principle is self-discipline. Even if no one is watching and you are able to procrastinate on a task or put less than your best effort into it, you should still do your best with it and complete the task promptly. True virtue is not found merely in the actions that others can see, but in the actions you perform when no one is looking.

**Keep your body pure and holy. Another way to phrase this would be to respect your body. Treat your body as a treasure. Our bodies were created in the image of God. They are a gift from Heavenly Father to allow us to experience mortality and continue to become more like Him. This knowledge influences the way we treat our bodies and how we feel about Heavenly Father and ourselves. When we treat our bodies as temples of God, we obtain physical, emotional, and spiritual blessings.
Waiting until marriage before having sex. Nearly every major religion will agree on this point.
Even if you have no religion to claim, the principle of purity still applies to you. Sex should be treated as something special that should only be cherished between two people in love.(husband and wife)

**Orient yourself to the mean, not the extremes. This is a principle first discussed by Aristotle. Too much of a good thing can turn into something bad. Virtue can often be found in the middle ground, between two extremes of a characteristic.
[4]
For example, take self-love. An extreme excess of this principle will result in narcissism, but an extreme deficiency will produce low self-esteem. You need to love and respect yourself to show love and respect to others, but you need to love yourself in moderation so that you do not get carried away.
**Commit yourself to a virtuous life. If you really want to be a virtuous woman, you need to prepare yourself for a lifetime commitment. A virtuous life is not an act you can put on for a few days. True virtue is a lifestyle not a camouflage.
Practice virtue until it becomes habit. You can commit yourself to a virtuous life without becoming a perfectly virtuous woman overnight. The best way to create virtue in yourself is to practice virtuous behaviors so often that they become new habits.
Do not be discouraged by past mistakes or mistakes you make along the way. Ultimately, if you practice principles of virtue long enough, they will become habits and characteristics of your overall person.

In two days time we will be celebrating our mother all over the world in our various Churches
Happy mother's day to every mother's in the entire universe
