A HOUSEWIFE IS MORE THAN A HOUSEWIFE:
A housewife is not just a wife who stays at home. A housewife is the heart of the home; she is the provider of care and comfort; she is the creator of cleanliness; she is the ruler of her domestic domain; she is the glue that holds a home together; she is the tender touch in a tough world; she is the love in all the little things that make a house a home.
