PART I RIGHTEOUSNESS
CHAPTER 6
THE BLESSINGS OF A GOOD HELPMATE
51. She is the good helpmate who possesseth every wifely virtue and spendeth not above her husband's means.
52. All other blessings turn to nought if the wife faileth in wifely virtues.
53. Where is indigence if the wife is worthy ? and where is riches is worth is not in her ?
54. What is there that is grander than woman, when she is strong in the strength of her chastity ?
55. Behold the woman who worshippeth not other Gods but worshippeth her husband even as she riseth from bed : the rain-cloud obeyeth her commands.
