Women remain the pillar in every family and the society at large. The role of a woman in the life of a man (husband) cannot be underestimated.

I have heard several times when men will say, my wife is my backbone. She's my prayer warrior, my this and that... That's because the men have seen how much the women have help them grow through their advice and observation.

You're right about the fact that women from time past have been of a great support to the men and the family at large.
