Despite what some may claim, the Bible's not the best place to look for traditional family values as we understand them today. The text predates our Western construct of the nuclear family and presents us with a familial culture closer to that of a third-world country (or a TLC reality show) than that of Ward and June Cleaver. In ancient Israel, "biblical womanhood" looked different from woman to woman, depending on her status.
