What is a wife’s role in a marriage?

Question

Depends I guess. One would say that it should be equal partnership. But in reality a wife typically keeps the day to day functions of the house hold up and running. Like for example. I and my husband work a full time job. I however wake up 2 hours earlier than the husband. Get his and mine lunch ready. Get lunchs ready for our two young son. Get our new baby ready to go over to my moms who watches him while we are at work. I'm still breast feeding him. So I pump milk and feed him. THEN get breakfast ready. Some mornings I drop the kids off school my moms. Other days the hubby does. Then we get home. Since I get off before my husband. I always pick them up. Get the boys sat down to do thier home work listen to thier stories. Make dinner spend time with the husband. Clean up go to bed. Though I enjoy the role of wife and mom. Some wouldn't.

To love, mutually respect and support each other by giving 100% of each other to each other. No expectations of this is your role and this is mine.

What the heck do you expect a slave or something? Most women these days don’t care about the ring, we want a partner that can completed each other, we don’t have to be married either to get that.
If you want a slave take your dang ring back. I can’t replace ya mother, ya mother need to teach you better, I can’t replaced her. Not that I say ya mom is a slave, but she's the one that will tolerate your immature, lazy a$$

It depends on the marriage.

I'm straight, and if I were to get married, I would prefer us to be equal with responsibilities, including (but not limited to) housework, yardwork, cooking, cleaning, childcare (if we had kids), etc. I would also expect both of us to contribute financially, regardless of who makes more money.

I don't agree with traditional gender roles in marriage.

A wife's role is the same as the husband's role... to support their spouse as a partner in a loving relationship

wiltingrosepetal · Answer

Companionship, same as the husband. Supporting each other emotionally, physically, verbally and financially. She can take on the role of a breadwinner, caregiver, mother, etc, as those are all different choices a person can make. A wife isn't forced to take on any of these, but at the end of the day, her role is as a companion

AutumnSerenity · Answer

To have her husband’s best interest at heart, always. Regardless of whether it’ll benefit her or not - love is not selfish. Protect him in all matters. Keep the relationship private at all times. Be honest, helpful, and loyal. Pretty common sense stuff, in my opinion.

JacobJordan · Answer

Wife response: depends on the morals and values of both parties. My role specifically aside from the love, respect, encourage and support my husband is to take care of the home and raise our 3 children. To make sure he has hot food and clean clothes and doesn't have to worry about much aside from working on the house and providing for his wife and children.

same as the husband... to make the spouse happy

clampfan101 · Answer

That’s ultimately up to each couple.
Marriage is all about becoming partners of life. Both live for each other as much as for themselves in whatever way seems to work best for both of them. Traditional roles of a husband and wife are simply ways that seem to commonly work out.

Crankor · Answer

You figure that out before you get married. Seems like there's a number of people who have or want different roles. The basics are just to nit ignore each other. You should always act like your dating. Any rile a wife has, the husband realistically has as well unless it's agreed otherwise

IslaTheWitch · Answer

The same as a husband's role. They both have to invest time and effort into the relationship. They both should care for and respect each other.
