As Jews we believe it is best for a marriage for a wife to be submissive to her husband. When G-d created the world he ordained that a man rule over his wife. On all levels in nature a man was created to being the ruler of his home. A man is taller than his wife, his voice is rougher,his physical strength is greater, his weight is more, and he is less emotional as well. A man was created to be a leader in his home and there can only be one pilot in a household. Yes there are times a woman who is married to a less religious husband,must put her foot down. There are good wives who if they see that their husbands have bad company will take action. Sometimes she must let out a shrill yell and chase away her husbands bad friends. And sometimes more extreme measures are necessary,
like putting a sleeping pill or ex lax toilet runner into her husbands drink to make him incapable of hanging out late nights with bad friends. But in normal marriages,the husband rules. Our sages teach us that a good wife is one who does the will of her husband. A wife should always cook and cater to her husbands needs. This will help the marriage sustains itself in our turbulent times.
