According to the Vedic injunctions, the wife is the better half of the husband's body because she should be responsible for half of her husband's duties. This is an allegorical language.
In other words, a wife is the embodiment of the best qualities of a husband. The Vedas say that the feminine principle carries many opulences. If a man achieves something in life, then first of all, he owes it to his faithful wife. The presence of a godly woman brings the following to her husband:
- glory;
- good luck;
- graceful speech;
- memory;
- prudence, reason;
- purposefulness;

- patience.
Moreover, these qualities appear in the husband of a pious woman, even if he did not have them, and increase in the described sequence.
The least a godly woman can give her husband is glory.
Next comes a higher level of what she can give - good luck in difficult times.
Graceful speech is a higher asset. Graceful speech enables a person to achieve success in life.
Memory is a great blessing for a person, because it is able to enable a person to remember his failures and, thus, not degrade.
Prudence and reason are an even higher property, because reason controls the entire existence of a person and enables a person to progress all the time.
Purposefulness is an even higher quality, because purposefulness makes it possible to always achieve your goal. A purposeful person always reaches his goal, sooner or later.
And patience is the highest asset, because patience means the presence of all other assets combined.
Thus, a godly woman gives a man very much. The Vedas also say that when a woman is impious, she takes all these qualities from her husband.
First, she takes away his position in society, that is, fame.
Then luck is lost as a result of the fact that she behaves unworthily.
Then the man loses his graceful speech.
Then he loses his memory.
Then he becomes less judicious than before.
He loses focus.
And in the end he loses patience.
As a result of the loss of patience, conflicts begin.
