“"Your wife like a fruitful vine." This is given to him who, though still imperfect, fears the Lord, but it does not hold for one who loves him with all his soul, all his heart and all his strength. For him, there are "those things that eye has not seen," etc. To one who fears the Lord is given a consort of whom it is…”
Eusebius of Caesarea, 4th c. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 5:127

2A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfil the years of his life in peace.
— Sirach 26:3 —
4Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good heart toward the Lord, he shall at all times rejoice with a cheerful countenance.
5There be three things that mine heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation: all these are worse than death.
