There are some women that are beautiful but, their not submissive. A woman that fear God, Love her husband and submit to him, shall be praised.

A woman who fears the Lord, regarding her external appearance, is such a blessing to her husband. He wakes up everyday just to find out she is wiser, beautiful and satisfying that is ever increasing! He who fears the Lord, wholeheartedly, will be blessed by a godly woman. For the secret of a successful man is in the secret of a God-fearing woman.

That woman who will be the boasting of her husband, a priced treasure and a true blessing to him is the one who fears the Lord. Beauty and charm, do not promise that, instead they flatter only to dissappoint.
