I have been reading in scripture lately that "a woman's beauty makes her husband's face light up", and right after that "if her speech is kindly, his lot will is beyond mortal men." How easy it is to only focus on the one, beauty. That's an easy fix if I dress pretty, do my hair and brush my teeth!

That is entirely a product of the Industrial Revolution. For most of human history, the economy was based around the home. Husband and wife worked together to serve the family. Farming was the most common means of earning a living. There were tradesmen who also worked out of their homes.
