请教一个冠词（没有冠词）的问题

老师好，

做题看到一个句子，查阅参考书也不明白wife和husband前为什么没有冠词，文章讲早起的好处，句子如下：For example, if everyone in the family gets up early, wife will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family, children will have enough time to catch the school bus, husband will never forget to change his dirty shirt.

谢谢老师！

For example, if everyone in the family gets up early, wife will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family, children will have enough time to catch the school bus, husband will never forget to change his dirty shirt.

在一个由一对父母和孩子组成的家庭里，husband （丈夫）和 wife（妻子），可以视为“专有名词”的用法，可以省略冠词。当然，不省略也可，则加定冠词。

For example, if everyone in the family gets up early, the wife will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family, children will have enough time to catch the school bus, the husband will never forget to change his dirty shirt.
