Scriptural qualities a potential wife should have

I would say, look for the fruit of the spirit; (Galatians 5:22-23).

And look for someone with the maturity to understand the commitment of marriage and live up to it. I can't immediately call to mind a Scripture for that one, but you don't (for example) want someone who's more excited about the pageantry of the wedding day than taking seriously the words of the vows.

Hello! I was wondering what qualities, as a Christian young man, I should look for in a wife. If you have advice, it would be appreciated, but I'll require that you support the qualities you suggest with book, chapter, and verse. Thanks!

i found that a Christian woman who openly and actively displays her love for God and neighbour, makes for the best wife. A woman who actively loves the Lord and stays faithful to His revealed truth loving her neighbours will also love you and stay faithful to you.
