However, as I read this man's opinion of the virtuous woman I could only see a frumpy woman who is surrounded by kids and spends her day doing things that only pleases her family. Who takes care of her? Who seeks to meet her needs? That is what I want to avoid.

I think God meets the needs and takes care of both the male and female ...
I have learned that going into a relationship with the expectation of having one's needs met ... is frustrating and never truly attainable ....
We are called to fulfill our roles and excel in our duties while esteeming our loved ones as more than ourselves and allowing God to fill our voids.
If both spouses do this ... putting Him and spouse first... needs are met without the frustration of "who takes care of me?".
I do agree that the virtuous woman is a lot more multi-faceted and dynamic than Groce depicts.
