A 15-pt list on how to be a woman from my roommate's helpful bible college professor. Yep. He made a list.

Here's the full document:

How to be a Lady

1. God-fearing. Everything begins here. "Charm is deceitful and beauty is in vain, but only the woman who fears the Lord shall be praised" (Prov. 31:30).  Her respect for, and fear of, God, shapes her character, olds her condult, and guides her relations with others.

2. High moral standards. A woman's fear of God leads her to live as heaven prescribes. She adops the lofty moral standard erected in Scripture and refuses to deviate from it. "I have no turned aside from your ordinances" (Psalm 119:102).

3. Modest dress. Quite a bit can be discerned about a woman by her manner of dress. "Women are to adorn themselves with proper clothing, odestly and discreetly" (1 Tim. 3:9). An immodestly dressed feale certainly attracts men, but the wrong kind of men. A Christian man certainly notices a woman who appropriately covers herself. She attracts the right kind of men. And they respect her.

4. Inner beauty. A woman's external beauty lasts only about 20-25 years, then fades. Her real beauty is inward and oral in nature. "Strength and dignity are her clothing" (Prov. 31:25). Such moral virtues grow and flourish as she matures, so that she becomes a finer person while growing older.

5. Feminine reserve. A prudent lady conveys to a man that she is not easily had-- that she cannot get into a relationship with him, without divine consent. And if the Lord ever withdraws that consent, then she exits the relationship. God has ade men hunters; they are aggressive and want to take the initiative and do the pursuing. A wise woman knows this. "If you draw me after yourself," the Shulamite told Solomon, "then we will run together" (Canticles 1:4). Men are turned off by aggressive females. The Lord has her heart in his hand, and he will give it to the man of his choice.

6. Is a helper. Her chief responsibility in a relationship with a man is to be his helper--assist him in walking with and serving the Lord. "It is not good for man to be alone; I will give him a helper" (Gen. 2:18). Without her input, he will have a difficult, if not impossible, time becoming the man heaven wants him to be. She is a stepping-stone to him, not a stumbling stone.

7. Domestically industrious. THe ideal lady is anything but lazy. "She does not eat the bread of idleness" (Prov. 31:27b) but is diligent in her responsibilities. "A worker at home" (Titus 2:5). Married, home becomes her main sphere of activity, and she is skillful in managing its affairs and "looking well to the ways of her household" (Prov. 31:27a).

8. Concerned for the needy. While her husband and children are her primary concerns, she is not too busy to assist those outside the home in need. "She extends her hand to the poor and stretches out her hands to the needy" (Prov. 31:20). Christian ladies "labor hard in the Lord's service" (Rom. 16:12, like thosse mentioned in this verse).

9. Respectful of others. She "has regard for all people, fears God, and honors the king" (1 Pet. 2:17). Recognizing the iage of God in others, the lady holds the in proper estee. If married, she is "submissive to her own husband" (Eph. 5:22).

10. Confident in the Lord. The godly female eagerly anticipates coming days. "She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet...She smiles at the future" (Prov. 31:21, 25b). She does not fear bad news, for her "heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord" (Psal 112:7). She looks forward to what lies ahead.

11. Trustworthy. Others can safely confide in her, pouring out their heart seeking her counsel. If married, "her husband trusts in her" (Prov. 31:11a). He is certain that she will do him good and not evil. Consequently, "he will have no lack of gain" (Prov. 31:11b).

12. Wise. This woman has something worthwhile to say, "She opens her mouth in wisdom, and the teaching of kindness in on her tongue" (Prov. 31:26). She imparts sound advice to help guide others in their affairs, trails, opportunities, relationships, etc.

13. Gentle and quiet. The imprudent and worldly feale can be loud and "boisterous" (Prov. 9:13). But the prudent woman "has the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God" (1 Pet. 3:4). Because she is not talkative, whenever she does talk, people tune in and listen. She "wisely restrains her lips" (Prov 10:19)..

14. Devoted to Christ. What attracts a man to a woman more than all else is her being completely given over to Christ. "Besides you, Lord, I desire nothing on earth" (Psalm 73:25). He realizes that she, having Christ, does not need him.

15. She is priceless. Regarding the godly lady, "her worth is far above jewels" (Prov. 31:10b). She will be a good friend, fruitful servant and "excellent wife" (Prov. 31:10a).
