A woman, by nature is the most powerful creation than a Man. She has the power to
either build up or break up a family/society/country.
Though destitute of virtue, or seeking pleasure (elsewhere), or devoid of good qualities,
(yet) a husband must be constantly worshipped as a god by a faithful wife. [Manusmrithi
5:154]
In Ramayana, Sita worshiped her husband Rama as her god. She acquired Moksha (paradise)
with her worship. She was considered as an ideal wife. Savithri, through her penance,
saved her husband’s life from the hostage of Yama Dharma Raja, the king of the Hell.
Women of ancient times used to adopt these methods in their lives in order to sustain
their married life and to attain fame as an ideal wife. Hence, ancient families
used to last for life long. This is the reason why epic writers had portrayed women
as worships of god as a lover. This idea of the epic balances the harmony of the
families.
Nevertheless, modern women say, “When husbands regard the goddess as mothers, why
cannot women regard gods as fathers? Why should a wife regard her husband as god?”.
Modern women consider their husbands as merely partners in a business called “marriage
life”. This thought leads to the birth of individual freedom and independency which
can break up marriage life. Today we see many modern educated women are walking
out of marriage life even for a small abuse.
Holy Bible says that:
(i) The wise woman builds her house; but the foolish pulls
it down with her hands
(ii) An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but
she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.
So women, do follow the rules below to make your family a successful one.

- Be submissive to your husband in all matters.
- Do not back-answer your husband, as he is elder to you in age.
- You can advice him like a minister, but do not insist him to follow.
- Try to support his deeds all the time so that your husband develops
abundant love on you.
