As A Wife
A Woman is man’s helpmate, partner and comrade. She sacrifices her pleasure and ambitions,
sets the standard of morality, relieves stress and strain, the tension of the husband, maintains peace
and order in the household. Thereby she creates the environment for her partner to think more about
the economic development of the family. She is the source of inspiration for the high endeavour
and worth achievements in life. She stands by him in all the difficult situations as well as she shares
all success and results. She is the person to whom he turns for love, sympathy, understanding,
comfort and recognition. She is the symbol of purity, faithfulness and submission and devotion to
her husband.

As an Administrator and Leader of the Household


A well-ordered household is essential to normal family life. The woman in the family assumes
this function. She assigns duties among family members according to their interest and abilities.
In the preparation and serving of meals, selection and care of clothing, laundering, furnishing and
maintenance of the house she plays the leading role. As an administrator, she organises various
social functions in the family for social development. She also acts as a director of the recreation.
She plans more recreational activities to meet the needs of young and old members of the family.

A Manager of Family Income


Woman acts the humble manager of the family income. It is her responsibility to secure a
maximum return from every bye spent. She always prefers to prepare a large budget instead of a
deficit budget. She is very calculating loss and gains while spending money. She distributes the
income judiciously. The woman in the family also contributes to the income of the family through
her own earning within or outside the home. She has a positive contribution to the family income
by the work. She performs in the house and uses waste products for productive purposes.

As a Mother
The whole burden of childbearing and the more significant part of the childbearing task are carried
out by the woman in the family. She is responsible for the child’s habit of self-control, orderliness,
industriousness, theft or honesty. She is responsible for the maintenance of the discipline in the
family. For her child, she is the first teacher. She transmits social heritage to the child. As there is
intimate and sustained contact with the child, she can discover and nurture a child’s unique traits
aptitudes and attitudes which subsequently play the leading role in the shaping of his personality.
She is the family health officer. She is concerned about the physical wellbeing of every member
of the family, the helpless infant, the sickly child, the adolescent youth, and senescent parent. She
organises the home and its activities in such a way so that each member of the family has proper
food, enough amount of sleep and sufficient recreation.
The woman performs the role of wife, partner, organiser, administrator, director, re-creator,
disburser, economist, mother, disciplinarian, teacher, health officer, artist and queen in the family
at the same time. Apart from it, a woman plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of
the society. Modern education and modern economic life use to compel woman more and more to
leave the narrow sphere of the family circle and work side by side for the enrichment of society.
