Qualities of a Good Wife

After compiling the list of qualities they want in a husband Noelle and Sadie made a list of qualities they should possess to be a good wife to their future 'good husband'.  Many of them are the same as the husband qualities.

1.  Brush your own teeth
2.  Make your bed
3.  Clean the house
4.  No yelling
5.  No inappropriate sounds
6.  Good driver
7.  Responsible with money
8.  Give husband gifts
9.  Go to the grocery store
10.  Make good food.

A Quality Husband

Brad was working late and this is the supper conversation the girls and I had while he was out:

Noelle, who LOVES her daddy, asked "Mom, how did you get such a good husband?"  My answer, which is 100% true, is "By the grace of God."  Noelle went on to say that she wished Brad was still young so she could marry him before I got to him:)

I wanted to make a teaching moment out of it so I asked the girls what kind of qualities they saw in Daddy that they would look for in a husband.  I told them they should make a list of good characteristics so they wouldn't fall for someone just because he's cute and funny.  They decided we should do it now...so here's their list, based on what they value in their daddy.

Characteristics of a Good Husband by Noelle (age 7) and Sadie (age 4).

1.  Can change the oil and tires on a car
2.  Makes fires in the fire pit
3.  Is a good driver
4.  Good with money
5.  Works to get money
6.  Gives presents
7.  Goes to the grocery store for you
8.  Goes to church.  Make sure it's a good one.
9.  Doesn't make inappropriate sounds
10.  Uses kind words.  No yelling.

Then they came up with some characteristics that they should probably have if they're going to be good wives.  That's for another post.
