9k. A Temperate Wife, 1 Timothy 3:11

9k, A Temperate Wife

1 Timothy 3:11 In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything. 

In sticking with the importance of character found in a leader's wife, this woman is to be temperate. I normally look at temperate as being not extravagant in actions or talk, but then I found these synonyms  and found them to be appropriate. The following character traits are of important value when seeking a leader, and not just for him but for his wife as well. Here is the list: self restrained, controlled, self denying, gentle, agreeable, and pleasant.

K and A, these traits are desirable in all woman, married and unmarried alike. You need to develop each of them in your life as well. When someone insults you, be temperate. Show restraint. You do not need to retaliate. When your day isn't going well, be pleasant and gentle control yourself. If there isn't much dessert, or enough presents to go around, deny your urge to get what you can or even what is rightfully yours and allow someone else to have it. This is the kind of person God is looking for, the kind of person God wants you to be. And, the kind of daughter that will fill my heart with joy
