This is a list I might like to explore in the future by writing a bit more about some of these noble women. If you know about more saintly married ladies worthy of imitation, please, let me know in comments, I would like to update this list accordingly. I chose mainly those married saints who had also saints for husbands, because I think that it is a sign that God gave them very special grace.
