hmmmm??? If a woman possessed all of these qualities then something is wrong with her. Only a man who is unsecure would want a woman to be submissive or as you put it :to be subordinate to , to yield under to". I can say I am all of those things minus 4. submission, 5. reverence--I am in awe of my husband and love him with all my heart and soul, but I do not fear him. 6. Shamefaced--Why would you want someone in a marriage that cant look life with her head up?, 9. Obedience-It takes 2 to make a marriage work and it takes both to make the decisions of marriage, life, love and home. 10. Subjection-We are one body together. One soul, not one owning the other. The other qualities are great though. I would hope that no one would want their spouse to be 4,5,6,9, 10. That would be a very unhappy relationship.

Disgusting. I am a career woman, but I am a good wife. I keep a house, I cook (because I ENJOY cooking, and do so better than my husband), and I try to do nice things for my husband. But only because he does the same for ME. If he did nothing for me, I'd be out of here.
If he expected me to obey him, or submit to him, I would be GONE.
Submission and obedience... it makes women sound like dogs. I am no dog. I am brilliant, and I am motivated, and I make one hot wife if you ask me. :P
By the way, "feminine" qualities? The female spirit is strong, feral, and divinely compassionate. That's the kind of feminine I respect.

What century are you looking for a wife from? That kind of stuff went the way of the unicorn ages ago. What wifely qualities you should be seeking is a competent partner that will stand by you and back you up in the hard times. Get with the program.

I would be so bored with a woman like that. She sounds like an advertisement instead of a human being. Yuck!
I'm in favor of not committing adultery, but seriously....subjection, obedient, and submissive? Are you kidding? She sounds more like a Cocker Spaniel than a woman.

ok even though some of those are good qualities to have some of them are not. You should respect your husband but the " respects him with fear" doesn't sound right. You shouldn't fear your husband. Also she shouldn't have to walk around with her eyes down cast. And keeping your virginity is important to some but some men don't care about that.

You just described the qualities of a good wife as described in the book of Proverbs 31 - check the scriptures and you'll see a detailed description.

WOW! if you live by that your a very noble in a biblical since. but in all reality most men are just going to take advantage of you if you truly live by this. Plus this is just me speaking but that sounds like a very weak individual that doesn't have any personality of her own.

sorry each to their own, if people want to live their lives this way go for it i have nothing against it.
personally for me tho, i think a relationship is more like a partnership. this means your equals 50/50. i take care of my guy and he takes care of me.
