Ben Sira 26:1-4

1 Happy is the husband of a good wife; the number of his days will be doubled.
2 A loyal wife brings joy to her husband, and he will complete his years in peace.
3 A good wife is a great blessing; she will be granted among the blessings of the man who fears the Lord.
4 Whether rich or poor, his heart is content, and at all times his face is cheerful.
