what is the most important role of a woman?a wife or being a mother?

I prefer to be both because I can manage it very well. I have three sons and I got no maid to help me. I can do all the groceries, cooking, household chores like cleaning the house, garden, do the laundry, ironing and everything you can think of. I am the one teaching my children on their homework. As a wife I also do my responsibilities to my husbands. He has nothing to say that I'm lacking of something. He always tells me that I offer more that he can imagine that's why he loves me so much and he can't found anything better to replace me in his heart and his life. Well, that is my reward!!! I'm really happy right now.

The most important role a woman can have is to be herself and to be happy with herself. You can not enjoy being a wife or even a mother without satisfaction within.

he he i think it can be done. my mom was able to manage 3 roles! a businesswoman, a mother, and a father to us -- it could have been 4 roles but latter part of her golden days my father left us and so she stopped being a wife but became a father and a mother to 3 children. I guess it just takes a lot of time management, a lot of love and passion for her work and for her dream for us, of course. I know it is hard, especially for those working mothers, but i guess it would come to a point where all moms will have this natural ability to be as they are and they aren't supermom for nothing. :D Be blessed!!

Both... you can be a mother and a wife...it is just a matter of responsibility, devotion, and love.. You can manage life and it is beautiful and a rewarding experience being a matured woman.

I'm not yet a mother, but soon to be a wife. tips to be a good wife: Be respected and appreciated. First,before you can share, you have to know who you are. In marriage ,there is only one leader and a follower. Husband is considered to be the leader and wife as the follower, but it doesn't mean you should under estimate woman in our society or in our own home. Men should be respected and woman to be appreciated. Caring for the husband and to your children should be well balance. Maintain your body to stay attractive. Husband and wife should communicate anything for at least 15 minutes or more so relationship won't have lapses. Give an appreciation and loyalty to your husband. Make a romantic memory

you cannot be a good wife when you are not a good mother and you cannot be a good mother if you are not a good wife. The two always go together. You cannot prioritize one over the other. You will surely loose one if you choose one. It's really difficult to be a wife and a mother. You have to love your husband and children.

I'm neither, but I don't understand why you can't be both. Aren't there tons of married women with kids? Aren't they doing both? Maybe both can't be done easily, but to say they can't both be done period? No, I don't believe it. I'm sure there are women who manage both. In fact, I know there are. Just because it's difficult doesn't mean impossible As for which I prefer for myself, neither.

Nice Question. I guess both...Since mother and Wife having a unique role as a woman. They are plainly same NOBLE

i still dont know. i am not a mother yet. hopefully soon. i think the two most important role for now is being a wife and a daughter. :)

If i must choose between the role of a wife or a mother, I would absolutely go for the role of a mother. As a mother, you play a very important role in your child's future. You are, in a way, laying/building the foundation of your child's life. You have a bigger responsibility to your child than to your husband.

I am a mother to a now 2 yr-old son; been married for 3 years now. For that dual role, I guess I can safely say, 'been there, done that!' :) For about a year and 3 months, I took care of my child without the valued help of a babysitter. Yes, it was difficult to be a mother and a wife at the same time. Nonetheless, the understanding and the physical assistance of my husband whenever he's at home lightened that dual role I played. In our case, I believe it was just a matter of understanding and compromising and of course, be reminded always that as parents, you are both (jointly) responsible to the rearing of your child. Therefore whatever my lapses were as a wife during those first few months of my child when he needed my attention most, my husband stood by me always and was supportive as ever. A way to remind ourselves was, we talked, we communicate about it. And we cherished those moments of being there for our precious one. If I have to do it again, I will do it just the way it was. So, Enjoy!

As a very independent person who is very anti-enforced gender roles, I think the most important role of a woman is not to be a wife or mother but to be herself. A whole, complete person who doesn't need a man to "complete" her but to be her companion if that's what she chooses. I don't think it's a woman's "role" to be wife and mother, I think it's a choice, and that the woman has her own opinion on which is more important to her.
