Why virtue?

Who can [be] a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. (~Proverbs 31:10)

Proverbs 32

Soooo... one thing that bothers me about the Proverbs 31 description, is that it's not near complete! I mean the "Martha" is all there- going, doing, having... but what about her "Mary" counterpart? Any woman who wants to be virtuous has GOT to go first to the Giver of her virtue, the Author of her very life, and sit   and delight   in her Savior. Virtue starts on the inside and finds it's way out; it does not depend on external things, nor will the external enhance it. Unless Christ is the One cultivating virtue in you, there's a long, disappointing road ahead of you. Unless He is the motive behind all your efforts, they're all in vain. Only He can provide that strength needed for the busyness of every day life. Thus, I think Proverbs needs yet another chapter! =)
