No. The government should only regulate what is necessary, and as long as it respects human rights while doing so.
When the government makes decisions regarding household life, education, and the workplace, the government can easily become totalitarian. A tolalitarian government is very dangerous as exemplified by real-life examples such as Hitler's Germany or modern-day North Korea. (In fiction, the subject of a totalitarian government is also treated in the famous novel 1984).
Eric Wolf believed
that power is inherent in every individual and that it was an aspect of all
human relations. Power is the capacity to bring about change through influence.
It is embedded into cultures and systems of power in society such as the family
and tribe.
