Actually, I believe that the word for wife and woman are the same, at least in the NT. Of course, that might just be a cultural thing rather than religious.

WIFE
WIFE
A man's marriage partner. After God created Adam, He declared, "It is not good that man should live alone" (Gen 2:18). Then He created woman and united the couple and they became "one flesh" (Gen 2:24). The wife is to honor her husband (Eph 5:22), and the husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church (Eph 5:25-33).

A woman 'married' to a man, by a religious service!

Since the marriage of God and His church is the defining marriage, the church defines "wife" in marriage. Since that is so, we must conclude that a wife is one who receives the loving service of her husband, and then responds by loving him.

Why don't you look in a dictionary instead? It means a married woman.
