Value of a Virtuous Woman


Sex is such a taboo subject we hate addressing in churches. Sexuality is so skewed by religious interpretation. It is rarely taught from a place of divine beauty and instead is almost always attached to shame and guilt.
I'm very grateful God is willing to go to those sensitive places of my soul to teach me. I'm grateful He has given me brothers, strong men in Christ, with whom we can bear one another burdens that they may be light.
One of those friends shared this with me. It's given me deeper insight and has helped me become the warrior and lover in Christ I am developing into. With permission, I am sharing it here for those who may need to read this.
Virtue(and it doesn't = preserving your virginity for marriage) is not just a state you can have before you lose your virginity, but is the state of being which can be lived by not only the woman, but the man which she invites into herself. It cannot be lived by yourself, but in tandem with a male counterpart.
It consists of a value system, in which sex(and sex expression) is upheld as sacred(not untouchable, or reserved, but desirable and upheld as one of the highest values). When sex is upheld as sacred, it becomes a form of worship in the purest forms.
This worship is the closest form of deity emulation on earth, as man was made in God's image, male and female. And that is not male and female alone and separate, but joined.
So what is the value of a virtuous woman?
Well it's opposite is a woman which doesn't reserve sacred, or which downgrades the value of sex expression to simply pleasure, biological reproduction, and a system of gratification for self(rather than an emulation of divine).
It is the love of God given physical form.
The pinnacle of creation was Eve, by all definitions a virtuous woman. She is the mother of all living. The Ezer kenegdo. Helpmeet is a poor translation and the Hebrew is used scant times in the Bible, and every other time refers to God alone. Eve is the manifestation of God himself to Adam.
In beauty, Eve(the woman) embodies majesty taller than mountain peaks, power greater than the rolling thunder, and depth more than the cracks of the deep places in the earth.
The woman's role is to invite the man into herself. She is penetrated, physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.
To the unvirtuous woman, sex is just another thing(object), and valued as a toy.
To the virtuous woman, being penetrated by her man, is gifting him all that she is, and offers unfiltered, unmasked, and unrestrained affection. In her nudity or exposure, the true self is naked to view without shame.
Probed and then reveled in, the act of making love(virtuous in comparison to "only sex") is a return to Eden, before shame, and the worship of God's image.
What is the value of a virtuous woman?
The weight of eternity.
