Compassionate

Compassion is one of the most important qualities in a marriage and one of the most important character traits a woman demonstrates in her marriage. In a culture that encourages selfishness, a compassionate woman is a glimmer of hope. In the New Testament, the first mention of the word compassion is found in Matthew 9:6: “But when he saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.” Jesus looking over the multitudes was moved with compassion because He saw their weariness and how lost they were. A Christian woman models after this. The definition of compassion is a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. A compassionate wife is able to recognize when her spouse is suffering in some way. She is loving and kind and can help them move through their process.
Unconditional Love
People tend to believe that glorious “true love” relationships are elusive, but we have the power to turn our own relationships into just that. A Christian wife loves you unconditionally. She values you the way you are. Unconditional love in essence is true love so different from the kind of love most of have known all our lives that it deserves a definition of its own. Unconditional love is caring about the happiness of another person without any thought for what we might get for ourselves. She also reflects this love in her relationship with family. It’s not unconditional love when other people like us for doing what they want or demand of us. It isn’t a feeling, it’s a behavior. Unconditional love is ever-flowing.
Shares Your Beliefs
Never overlook a woman who shares your beliefs, particularly on faith. A Christian wife keeps Christ at the center of her marriage. You and your wife share many common interests. On top of being unbelievably similar, a good wife should share the same beliefs, values, hopes and dreams. You are inspired by each other when you share the same worldview, background and core beliefs, which will allow the two of you to build a strong, loving foundation based on mutual respect. You are attracted to each other physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Too often, we end up in relationships with people who don’t share our beliefs and values and the relationship gets derailed before it even had a chance.
Uplifting
Never overlook a woman who makes you a better man. A woman who cherishes her husband will uplift him. This is one of her most valuable qualities. Any man who has a great wife will tell you that she makes him a better man. She doesn’t have to say or do anything, it just is the way. Your wife should elevate you to your best self. You can get a good idea from your friends and family. Do they say or act differently in a bad way when you are around her? Not a good sign. A Christian wife brings out the best in you. She also encourages her husband in a multitude of ways. She is honest with her husbands about any concerns she may have regarding matters and protects her family from harmful circumstances.
Trustworthy
This is about more than fidelity in marriage. A Christian wife wants her husband to know that he can trust her and depend on her just like she trusts and depends on him. She seems their marriage as a partnership. You guys are a team. God is the coach. In Proverbs 31, we find first that the excellent wife is trustworthy. Scripture tells us, “The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain” (Proverbs 31:11-12). The Bible tells us her worth is far above jewels. A husband trusts her when she does him good and not evil all the days of her life. He will have confidence in her when he is encouraged. The trustworthy wife seeks to do her husband good all the days of her life.
Selfless
Never overlook a woman who is selfless. You know you’ve found a Christian wife when she really values others. A selfless woman always puts God first. She also puts other people’s wishes, interests or aspirations first because she values others. Look at the way she treats her family and friends. Giving to others comes naturally to her. She finds happiness in giving away her energy, time and hard earned money, even to those who need help but don’t ask for it, she’s the epitome of selfless. Some questions to ask yourself: Does she care about other causes? Does she go out and volunteer? Does she give change to the needy or buy them a meal? These are important characteristics to consider.
Puts in Effort
Relationships always require effort and a Christian wife always puts it in. If you’re not putting enough effort into a relationship, though, that’s exactly where things tend to go. A Christian woman genuinely cares about those. She sees everyone as a child of God. She gets along with your friends and family. A Christian wife will make an effort to have close relationships with your circle of influence. She is a good fit with the people in your life. She’ll help your family out when they are in need because those relationships are important to her. She isn’t critical of the people who you love and have been loyal to you throughout your life. No matter how much is going on in life, a successful relationship requires a sense of excitement and being present.
