Proverbs 19:14 shows the thought of what a gift of value from the Lord, a woman can be in marriage. When you consider some of the words in Hebrew (below) that are meant by ‘prudent’, you can see that the woman described in Proverbs 31 is the same. She has capacity and grace. A man gifted with such a woman is blessed.
“House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.”
