Two most noble arts for a man: war and husbandry (war and women) (soldiers/arms and residents/laborers)

• Achilles gave up the latter to pursue the former
• Odysseus gave up the former to pursue the latter

Husband and Wife: Patriarchal Partnership

• Husband leads, earns, produces, commands, oversees
• Wife spends, provides, adorns, manages (Proverbs 31 exemplifies this. Feminists take it wrongly; she was managing what her husband acquired. cf.: Ruth gained status as the wife of Boaz.)
