Laywoman Nakulamātāperson

Nakulamātā, the canon's model wife. When her husband lay gravely ill she steadied him with her speech at the bedside: the household is in good hands, she is faithful, capable, and serene; do not die anxious (AN 6.16). The Buddha held up their marriage as alike in faith, ethics, giving, and wisdom (AN 4.55), and taught her the eight qualities by which a lady wins rebirth among the Gods of the Agreeable Host (AN 8.48).
