Wisdom of Women Built Her House
The ideal of a relationship is to leave more responsibility to women in managing household affairs and raising children, and it is the woman's right to have a home to be proud of.
("Wisdom of women built her house, and folly with her hands tears it down" — Proverbs 14:1; and likewise: "This is what is said: 'Wisdom of women built her house' — this is the wife of On ben Peles; 'and folly with her hands tears it down' — this is the wife of Korah" — Midrash Rabbah 18)
