The word wife literally means weaver.
In the times before the factories arose, the wool was spun
by the girls, who were therefore called spinsters; and the thread was woven
into cloth by the mother, who was therefore called wife.
And it is well remarked that "in this word is wrapped
up a kind of earnest, indoor, stay-at-home occupation, as being fit for one who
bears this name."
This is indeed a far cry from many who bear this name today.

Pro 31:31 (GNT): “Give her (wife) credit for all she does.
She deserves the respect of everyone.”
“Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at
first.” - Billy Sunday.
