What kind of wisdom or virtue should we expect in a woman considered a role model? Is it intellectual capacity? Love? Her care for her house, her children, or her husband? What sets her apart from a woman who does not obey God? The Bible calls a woman wise when she uses reason rather than emotion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003366;\">Research on human relationships reveals that men tend to be more rational, while women are usually more emotional. Biblically speaking, it makes sense, as the devil didn\u2019t tempt Adam first, but Eve. Why? Because she was more inclined to use her emotions.

They don\u2019t think before acting. Children tend to get carried away by momentary feelings. That is why children can\u2019t be left unattended and must always be supervised.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003366;\">A wise woman is virtuous and agrees with God\u2019s thoughts. Before acting, she ponders, weighs, and considers her attitudes which makes her a role model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003366;\">Unfortunately, many people decide to marry based on emotions.
