The Midrash sums it all up. "Says Rabbi Acha: Whoever marries a proper wife, it is accounted him as though he fulfilled the whole Torah from beginning to end. That is why it is all included in the Eshet Chayil, the last chapter of Proverbs, whose first verse begins with aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and whose last verse begins with tav, the last letter of the alphabet."
