His wife is his home

הגדרה (אנגלית)

Figuratively: The wife is the one who gives a person the sense of home. The home is founded on the wife.

("Rabbi Yehuda says: Even another wife is arranged for him in case his wife dies, as it is said (Leviticus 16) ‘and atone for himself and for his house.’ His house is his wife. They said to him: If so, there is no end to the matter" – Yoma 1a; and: "I said to him, my house is my house of prayer. He said to me, his house is his wife. And Rabbi Chaim said, an hour earlier would have been better" – Agnon, Orekh Nate Lilon, 288)
