I just thought it would be enlightening for us men to say what we thought the perfect woman or wife would be in that once we have an idea of what she is or should be it may well help us see some of her qualities in all women and help us as men to value and respect them in love all the more for who they can be in Christ.
So what do we think?

I'm not sure about what people consider "perfect" to be, but somewhere in there has to be honesty. If you can't trust her, then nothing else really matters.

To me, the closest thing to a perfect woman is a woman that is diligently seeking to know God and to give her life to Him.
After that, it's all just personality.

hm..i would have to say that, as perfect as a woman can be because no one is perfect, but she is funny, caring, compassionate, great with kids, accepting, patient, loving, has a heart for God, does everything for God and for His glory, is selfless to a degree, beautiful inside and outside...someone that you just look at and cant help but smile because of the joy she brings to you, when you think of her you cant really think of anything that you would ever want to change..ever, etc :) ya, thats the perfect woman for me..shes great

The last perfect person was nailed to a cross.
Perfect is like the speed of light, it can be approached, but never attained.
For me, the best possible woman is:
- strong enough to do what is right without considering the cost
- weak enough to admit when she is wrong
- cares for me and loves me
- lets me care for her and love her
- willing to be protected and to protect (me)
- easygoing
- laughs and can play, can be silly or serious
- no fool, not anybody's fool
- willing to learn and to teach

yes there is no perfect anyone. but a woman that will diligently seek gods face with you and submit as the word of god states for her to is an awesome woman. however in order for us to seek the woman of god we first have to be in christ aswell and be the man the bible talks about.

That’s a hard question, a perfect woman?
I think one who is a biblical encyclopedia and concordance. So I can ask her for any verse in the Bible and she can tell me, or ask her to give me every verse that has the ‘son of man’ in it etc. That would be real handy. Seriously though, I would love a woman who had a good knowledge of God’s word, one who loves her Bible and is sincere in her religion. Only a woman like that could possibly be perfect.

Isn't she the one who ate Adam and his sons out of house and home?

Yes no one is perfect but all things are made perfect in the love of Christ. We could then say what we look for in a woman is love. She then would then in love be patient, and kind to us and others. She will not envy, nor will she boast, for she will not be proud except of God and her husband.
In love she will not be rude, and never be self-seeking, and most importantly for us guys is she will not be easily angered. Thus she will keep no record of our wrongs for in love she does not delight in evil but rejoices in God's and our truthfulness and righteousness. She will then in love always protect us, always trust us, always hopes the best of us, and always perseveres with us.
Men will speak well of us when they gather at the market gates because of our wife's righteousness and love and we will be sightly ashamed for we will never be as righteous and loving as she is. We will be touched by her love and feel a little guilty that we may not be all she looks for in a man of God. She may not be a woman that stops traffic with her beauty but there will be no other human being in the world that we would want to spend our time with.
Praise God for what our wives and sisters in Christ are but praise God even more for all they can be and praise Him even more than that for what we can be in Christ.

The perfect was nailed to the cross. But the
'closest to" is one whom has much virtues. Whom is more precious than rubies.. (Prov-31).

Hi
I would have expected someone to point to Proverbs 31 which describes the perfect woman.
But who am I to expect a perfect woman? 
I would settle for one who does not know it all.

I guess what I am getting at is, that in Christ there is this concept of the "perfect" and I am just trying to counter some of the low opinion we have of women which can only go to devaluing women in general and also lead to self destructive attitudes in our relationships with our sisters in Christ.
What I am trying to come to terms with is that if a woman is "in Christ", there is no condemnation although many men would still find fault. Now if Peter was also told not to call anything God had created, "evil" or "unclean", how can we continue to say our sisters in Christ have not been made perfect in Him for as many will confess they have the righteousness of Christ for Christ is in them and they are in Christ?
Okay, sure we have all sinned and fall short of the image and glory God has for us all but like God we have all come to know sin for all have sinned but unlike God only we can actually sin.
Here I see sin as being primarily defined by being separated from a saving knowledge of God/Christ. That is, out side of a saving relationship with Christ. For condemnation is not about doing bad things as salvation is by faith and the grace of God alone. In this sense women are exactly where God would have them be. They may not do everything perfectly but they are loved and acceptable in Christ. They are exactly where Christ would have them be, and that is in a relationship with Him from which they like men see their shortcomings and need for the grace, love, forgiveness and blood of Christ their Lord.
Now if Christ then calls them His sisters should we then continue to vilify them by saying they are not worthy of His attention? Perhaps, if they did everything we men wanted them to do they would be perfect, but not necessarily in His eyes. Can we say, if any one wants to be perfect, they should see their own unworthiness and be distressed at their own sinfulness? Can we rejoice in knowing our unworthiness or can we say we have been made perfect through our deliverance from our ignorance of our sin?
Would then a more positive and loving image of our sisters then go a long way to help delivering many a brother from their addiction to pornography?
In the end, "praise God!", for the positive image He Himself has given us of the perfect woman isn't she lovely?

Have you read this scripture?
(Proverbs 31:10) Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price [is] far above rubies.
(Proverbs 31:11) The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
(Proverbs 31:12) She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
(Proverbs 31:13) She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
(Proverbs 31:14) She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
(Proverbs 31:15) She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
(Proverbs 31:16) She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
(Proverbs 31:17) She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
(Proverbs 31:18) She perceiveth that her merchandise [is] good: her candle goeth not out by night.
(Proverbs 31:19) She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
(Proverbs 31:20) She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
(Proverbs 31:21) She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household [are] clothed with scarlet.
(Proverbs 31:22) She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing [is] silk and purple.
(Proverbs 31:23) Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
(Proverbs 31:24) She maketh fine linen, and selleth [it]; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
(Proverbs 31:25) Strength and honour [are] her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
(Proverbs 31:26) She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue [is] the law of kindness.
(Proverbs 31:27) She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
(Proverbs 31:28) Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband [also], and he praiseth her.
(Proverbs 31:29) Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
(Proverbs 31:30) Favour [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a woman [that] feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
(Proverbs 31:31) Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

i believe different men have different emotional needs (sex, affection, admiration, recreational companionship, domestic support, etc) and thus someone who's perfect for me may not be perfect for you.

RE: the perfect woman
I'm married to her. Been so for almost 30 years now.
The perfect woman is an equal and a partner. This requires as much on your part as it does on hers. I see a lot of men with these great women, who wish those women were this, or that, or whatever, and are unhappy about their situation. If they only knew how lucky they were to get someone as good as what they've got, they might gain a better appreciation for their circumstances.
I find a lot of men lack "situational awareness"...

The best quality a woman can have is the desire to stay with me even when it's against her better judgment.
