Please explain to me what 'wife material' actually is?

I've never been married, so I've never had a wife. I don't like the concept of marriage, so I've never considered what being married is even really all about or ever considered becoming married.

Can someone, without bullshit, explain to me what 'wife material' actually is?

I would have thought that if you are able to make a great relationship with someone that genuinely works, who cares if you are married or not as isn't that largely irrelevant?

Anyway, edumacate me...

For context, I'm 57, been single since I left my second ex in 2018. Pretty much abandoned the romantic, intimate, sexual relationship aspects of my mature adult life.

In the Bible, proverbs 31:10-31

10 A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds.
11 Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it.
12 Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long.
13 She shops around for the best yarns and cottons, and enjoys knitting and sewing.
14 She's like a trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises.
15 She's up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day.
16 She looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she's put aside, plants a garden.
17 First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.
18 She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.
19 She's skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking.
20 She's quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out to help the poor.
21 She doesn't worry about her family when it snows; their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.
22 She makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks.
23 Her husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers.
24 She designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops.
25 Her clothes are well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.
26 When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly.
27 She keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive.
28 Her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise:
29 "Many women have done wonderful things, but you've outclassed them all!"
30 Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.
31 Give her everything she deserves! Festoon her life with praises!

@PatientlyWaiting25 Interesting - this kind of lines up with much of the stuff that so-called 'anti-feminist' trad wives believe in.
