They both teach that woman's difference is *good* and that she was made to fill up what was lacking in man. They also teach that woman's calling is to be a help to man, and that this means his family and household, but they deny that this is restricted to procreation.
The family is the first society, and so the woman is a whole-life help to man, to assist him in all of his work.
