She does him good and not bad, all the days of her life. Some women may make their husbands happy and sad. They may make a delicious supper for their husband, but do not serve it to him in a pleasant way. This is doing good and bad. The Eishes Chayil, on the other hand, does good for her husband - day or night, even when he is sick or she feels weak. From here we learn, that people should continue to do the right thing whether they are rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak (Me'am Lo'ez).
