How to use wife in a sentence?

  1. Janvier Chouteu-Chando:

    A woman’s love is all a man should expect from his wife. That love could be translated into so many positive things, especially if it is reciprocated.”

  2. Josh Hawley:

    Eric Greitens know what I'm talking about, the 1960s, 1970s, it became commonplace in our culture among our cultural elites, Hollywood, and the media to talk about -- to denigrate the biblical truth about husband and wife, man and woman.

  3. President Mattarella:

    It's something I've never [spoken about], he was in his car. And he was going to Mass with his wife and his children. And an assassin approached the car and shot him despite the fact that the wife of my brother was trying to protect his head with her hands, and she was also wounded.

  4. Elizabeth Ochoa:

    Anecdotally, it might be harder for men to take on a caring role if the wife is unable to perform a lot of responsibilities that she’d normally do, but I think it depends on how the tasks of the marriage were divided up between spouses. If the husband is the one who stays home and runs the household, it might be an easier adjustment.

  5. Muhammad Ali:

    My toughest fight was with my first wife.
