An excellent wife is hard to find according to Proverbs 31:10 because she provides helpfulness, friendship, intimacy, and avoids tearing down her family through foolishness, as described in Proverbs 14:1. Genesis 2:18 notes that God created Eve to be a suitable helper for Adam to avoid his loneliness, and an excellent wife continues this role by supporting her husband instead of isolating him or damaging their relationship.
