Thank you for your quick reply.

"Beocme" means to begin to be something,
so I was thinking that in the sentence no.2,
she is not a good person now, but after she gets married,
she will turn over a new leaf and be a good wife.

On the other hand, in the sentence no.3,
She is a good person now, so she will be a good wife.

Am I wrong?

Thank you ver

Yes, the sentences say nothing about what kind of person she is now.
