What does the Bible say about the role of a wife?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that a wife plays a crucial role in her husband's life and the family, offering love, support, and management of household affairs.

In the context of Scripture, the role of a wife is elevated to one of great importance and responsibility. Proverbs 31 describes a virtuous woman as one who not only manages her household well but also provides nourishment, supports her husband, and contributes positively to her community. This biblical model emphasizes love, faithfulness, and industriousness as foundational characteristics of a godly wife. A wife is called to uplift her husband and to create an environment of strength and support that encourages him to live nobly and purposefully. Her domestic management, emotional support, and spiritual strength profoundly influence the family, reflecting the love and wisdom of Christ in her marriage.
