“The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that she shall have no need of spoil.”
Proverbs 31:11

The value of the virtuous woman is immediately clear from this foundational trait that influences all her actions and brings security to all her relationships. She is trustworthy. She does not have a hidden agenda. She is not in competition with her husband. They play on the same team. Really, in human relationships, there is nothing more valuable than trust. Trust is something that is slowly built on repeated faithfulness and is immediately dissolved by unfaithfulness. Notice that the virtuous woman is not praised for being perfect, for never making a mistake, for never having a bad day. But what she is noted for is that she can be counted on. Her behavior is predictable because she has demonstrated it time and again. When she fails, she makes amends. When she stumbles, she rights herself. While the focus of this proverb is the virtuous woman, trustworthiness is not gender specific. It is the most important bond of any human relationship. As we close this thought, we would do well to ask ourselves these questions: Is my behavior predictable? Can others count on me?
