Abstract

A woman, being a parent, is expected to be selfless in a way, and on the other hand when she tries to create her own life as well, she suffers from great conflict. In this situation, not giving up one of the two but trying to do both can cause greater suffering. It is important to get someone's understanding and support to endure this suffering and conflict. For a woman living as a wife, support from her husband as a life partner is a great encouragement. Also, raising children shouldn't only be the mother's responsibility. Therefore, we believe that how a man is involved with his wife as a husband and to his children as a father is related to the level of satisfaction of a woman's lifestyle. In this study, we brought together the depth of relationships as married couples and how women live their lives as wives/mothers and how they evaluate their lives, by analyzing wives' images of a husband and the family portrait as inner information.
