It all comes back to a woman running a household.  A housewife is a Chief Operating Officer (Chief Executive Officer is the husband) in some ways.  She has to be frugal with her money, and save what she can to have a profit.  She must treat her employees with respect, dignity, and discipline as a Mother.  She must not be idle in her responsibilities because if she is then the entire operation of the business will not succeed.  She must set a good example in the community for her business (family).  She must have strict morals in order to run an ethical business and expect her employees to do the same.  There is so much more to list, but time is of the essence.

In conclusion, do not be afraid to declare yourself as a Happy Housewife!  Your role is so important.  Don't let society decide.  You and your Husband should decide what is right for your family.  Then, be proud!   

"A Wise Woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands." ~Proverbs 14:1

"There is more to a home than housekeeping. A wife needs to be able to manage her jobs. She has to adjust to the weather, the time of day, the time of the month, the time of the year. She has to be flexible with family needs and unexpected problems. While few people can ever really do it to perfection, at least the housewife knows what is necessary and can aim for that perfection." - Lady Lydia, http://homeliving.blogspot.com/2006/12/matter-of-good-housekeeping.html
