As we continue our study in the book of Ruth, we look at the complementary roles of men and women, as well as the characteristics that make the two genders honourable. From Ruth's example we see that honourable women are humble, hardworkers and fulfil their call to be helpmates.In addtion, we learn from Boaz's example that men are to be pious, providers and protectors. Ultimately what we see is that it takes honourable men for honourable women to thrive.
