WIFE IS GOOD OR GOOD WIFE?

He who finds a wife finds what is good.  He who finds a good wife…..A good wife helps him find…..No, he who finds a wife finds what is good.
     I like to put the word "good" before wife.  A "good" wife would……  A "good" wife is……..   A "good" wife does……..
     But in this passage, good is after wife.  A wife, in and of itself, is good.  Nowhere in this passage does it talk about the type, character, personality or habits of a wife making her good.  It just says a wife is good.
     What if this is true about a lot of other stuff?  Think about it, what could you put in that sentence, He who finds a _______________ finds what is good?  How many times do we add the good before that blank?  Good job, Good house, Good church, Good family, Good friends, Good…..whatever!  Maybe those things are, in and of themselves, just good.  Maybe we shouldn't be looking for the good ___________ and just see the good in the _________________ already.
     I like this one.
