A

femininity, expressing
it through her
attitude, appearance
and bearing.
(1

preparing
herself to exercise
the Biblical
role in her
relationship with
a possible future
husband.
(Eph.
5:33-6:3, 1 Pe.r 3:1-2)
…does not compete for
equality with
men or chafe at God’s
design for male
and female, but
delights in and understand
the importance of her
calling to
complement man’s
role. (1 Tim.2:11-12,
Eph.
5:22-24)

members of the
opposite sex in a
flirtatious or forward
manner, but instead
saves all
her passion for her
future husband.
(Thess.

…values the
cultivation of her mind
and diligently seeks
after wisdom
and knowledge. (Prov. 22:17-21, 2:2-6)
…realizes her
imperative need to
allow the Holy Spirit
to control her
emotions and
expressions of them.
(James
1:19-20)

self-pity or
make a habit of
voicing complaints,
but radiates
cheerfulness and joy.
(Prov.
15:15, Prov. 17:22)
…restrains herself
from listening to,
or participating in
gossip, but instead
speaks with wisdom
and discretion.

…is trustworthy and
gains the
respect of those
around her.
(Prov.31:11)
…uses her years of
singleness to
seek and serve God
without distraction,
and is content to
leave the details
of her future to Him.
(Ps. 73:25,

her number
one desire and the
Lover of her soul,
knowing that only He
can fully satisfy.

nagging, contentious
or manipulative
manner in
which she deals with
others. (Judges
16:16,

loud in her
speech or actions but
is characterized
by a gentle and quiet
spirit.

builds up those
around her instead of
criticizing and
tearing them down.

before marriage
sacred and will not
compromise it for
anything. (This one

modesty and
reverence in her
manner, and wears
the ornament of a
gentle and quiet
spirit, which is her
true beauty. (1 Pet.
