But
although You reside within the heart, You are very far away from those
whose minds are disturbed by their engagement in material work.
Indeed, on one can grasp You by his material powers, for You reveal
Yourself only in the hearts of those who have learned to appreciate Your
transcendental qualities. –SMB 10-86-47 The
Lord provides the field of material nature, in which we exercise our
free will. Foolish non-devotees not only attempt to cheat the Lord
by trying to exploit His nature, but when they suffer the reaction, they
blame God for their misdeeds. This is the shameless position of
those who are envious of God. – SMB 10-46-40 Purport by Bhaktivedanta

The highest religious duty or a woman is to sincerely serve her
husband, behave well towards her husband's family and take good care of
her children.
Women who desire a good destination in the next life should never
abandon a husband who has not fallen from his religious standard, even
if he is obnoxious, unfortunate, old, unintelligent, sickly or poor. -SMB
