Please think before you make sweeping statements about what your religion dictates about the family insitution... and about what other christitans feel their religion requires of them. Not every christian household saddles the wife with the menial tasks. From your above statement I gather that you believe it is the wife that is to do the day-to-day grundgy work, while the man comes home to provide leadership when the kids are fit to be seen. On a side-note you seem to disaprove of anarchy since you imply that arnarchy = chaos. This is not always the case, although it most often is the case in our world.
