Proverbs 18:22

The favor God bestows is His blessing.

"The wording, especially in the Heb., strikingly resembles that of Proverbs 8:35, and so suggests that after wisdom itself, the best of God’s blessings is a good wife. Proverbs 31:10 makes a similar comparison, putting her price, like wisdom’s (Proverbs 8:11), above rubies." [Note: Kidner, p. 130. Cf. Genesis 2:18.]

Not just any wife is a good thing though; only a good wife is (cf. Proverbs 19:13-14).
