How much do the qualities of a mom and a wife make a difference in a family?

It is interesting that Nepal is a man dominated society. But at the same time we say that it is the woman that makes a home.
We say that it is the good qualities or the bad qualities of the women in the household that makes or breaks a home. So how can it be that we are a male dominated society, if we attribute so much power to the women in making or breaking a home?

Do women really have that much power to set the atmosphere of a home? Is a good woman that valuable?

It is interesting that if a family goes downhill, the men don't get blamed. It is the women that get blamed for the children being ruined. So though men have the power in Nepali society, it is the women we hold responsible when things go wrong in the family.
