We have no reason to be ignorant about God's Word regarding what we, as wives, should be doing with our lives. Here's a list to put things in proper order:
She puts God first in her life.
"You shall have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3 “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment.” Mark 12:30 “If you love me, you will obey what I command.” John 14:15
A husband and wife are one, and it is the most important ‘earthly’ relationship. “And the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.” Mark 10:8
She is a helper to her husband. "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Genesis 2:18
She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:12
She is respectful. Let the wife see that she respects her husband. Eph. 5:33
She is submissive. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Colossians 3:18
She is to be obedient to her husband. Titus 2:5
She raises and trains up godly children.
“Didn't the LORD make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. Malachi 2:15
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

She manages the affairs of her home.
She is to be a keeper at home. Titus 2:5
She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27

The older women are to be teachers of good things. Titus 2:3
She extends her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. Proverbs 31:20
She is creative and capable.
She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. Proverbs 31:16
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants. Proverbs 31:24
