If a man leads his wife in prayer as an Imam, the is for her to stand behind him. If he prays with his sons and daughters, the male children should form a row behind him, and the females (including his wife) should form a row behind everyone else. It should be noted that congregational prayer in the mosque is obligatory for an able-bodied man who hears the call to prayer.
