Who represents the ideal Wife?

• A. Esther
• B. Electa
• C. Martha
• D. Adah

Answer: (A)

Esther is the heroine designated as the ideal wife. In the Order of the Eastern Star, Esther represents the qualities admired in a wife: fidelity to her husband and a devoted, selfless service to others. Her story shows grace under pressure, wise discernment, and courage she demonstrates to protect both her husband’s throne and her people, often through prayer and thoughtful action. That blend of loyalty to family and care for the greater good defines the ideal wife in this symbolic tradition. The other heroines symbolize different virtuous roles, but Esther uniquely embodies the ideal wife archetype.
