Workbook: How to Choose The Wife that God wants for You.
Page 1: Clarify Your Values and God’s Priorities
Before seeking a wife, identify the traits God values. Reflect on qualities such as faith, integrity, emotional maturity, and nurturing character. Psychologically, knowing your values reduces confusion and prevents repeating unhealthy patterns from childhood. Naturopathically, choosing a partner aligned with your values fosters a low-stress, healthy relationship environment.

- Identify which of these traits were modeled in your childhood and which you want in your future spouse.
- Pray and ask God to guide you toward a partner aligned with His plan.
Reflection Question:
How do your values influence your attraction to potential partners? Are they grounded in Godly wisdom or temporary desires?
