What exactly is the core role of a wife, can I strip down to the real essence of why I need a wife? This is supposed to be an unbiased and objective angle to this question, so please don't get offended if it doesn't follow your religious prejudices.

Mimzy wrote a piece lately about what is expected of a wife in this generation (paraphrased) and it really got me thinking. Have we abused the office of the wife? and that births the question "what really can a wife do that nobody else can do for me?"

I can have sex without a wife. I can employ a cook. I can have a child without a wife. I can get my laundry done by outsourcing it. I can get my house cleaned by cleaners; that's no need of a wife. so what exactly can only a wife do? A doulah can help with the kids, creche has made things easier. for the overly religious folks that don't wanna fornicate. you can have children safely without. you doubt it? read

I for one never had a brother, never had a friend in the real sense of the word. I have been a loner with many secrets and stuff all bottled in. so deep within I crave companionship and I need a confidant. A lot of unsaid things are going to needed in a lady to be those two things to me effectively, buh they ain't what tops the list of the average guy there.

Many wives have had to multi-task so bad that their real responsibility has been lost. we have prolly heard of wives with maid servants back in those days. could it be economic hardship and survival that has relegated the office of a wife to this? or is this actually what women have over the years been indoctrinated into as part of the roles of a wife in the house? I am yet to find the answer.

I have thus made up my mind that, whatever money can fix, my wife isn't gonna worry about. let her focus on being my companion and confidant. money can handle the rest. Besides, why all the hustling?

To be a wife

This OP sef, u asked a question and answered it yourself again, it works both ways, I don't know what the fuss is all about in having a husband as well if not for companionship? So in ur own words, what exactly is the core role of a husband ?

You can even find the companionship and confidant in a true friend. So really no big deal.
But in the religious context, she is a home maker, and a help mate to her husband. So biblically speaking, that's the role of the wife. God said it's not good for a man to he alone, so he created eve.

I don't believe in religion, so I'm seeing this objectively, ur right that one can find companionship in a true friend, but then again, is that friend ready to spend the rest of his/her life with u? now I think this is what differentiates a friend from a wife/husband coz I think that apart from making babies, a wife/husband is that future companion u need in ur old age when obviously by then I'll be frail n lonely

to be f*cked roughly... but make sure she enjoys it.










they are so gonna clamor for my head right now.

I asked an open Question and gave an opinionated answer, I don't have all the answers. As regards your own question; create your topic too naah

I appreciate your religious angle. however, can u give us some points outside religion? That's gonna make your point(s) gain wider acceptance.
Whenever the religion card is used, your audience narrows down and gets controversial in that same instance.
Thanks.

I don't think there are any laid down roles..it's relative...
Whatever works for you and your husband shikena; as long as both of you are happy, including the children. ..

Wife...friend with benefit

Husband...friend with benefit.


You can't explain the roles without cultural and religious angle creeping in.

@OP:

You need a wife for companionship & friendship....

Get one for that.

The person who can successfully define a role of the wife is her husband and vice versa.

Prolly I am not as smart as you think.

Wife = help-meet

You're right, every role in life is dispensable.

Honestly, the companionship aspect is most essential in marriage/common law. With companiship comes commitment. Nobody's wants to be used and dumped. People want some sort of stability in their lives. And that's the Truth.

It's not fun being alone , have single friends that are okay financially and don't have to lift a finger to get chores done, one of them paid her ex child support till kids adulthood but guess what, they long for a partner-companionship, most especially the older ones (50s). Loneliness is no man/woman's favourite word, Even H.Hefner.

You can be in a relationship and feel lonely.
Being single doesn't necessarily mean that you are lonely.

Being alone and lonely are two different things.

someone finally got my point. Hey! Give me some Hi Five!

You have answered your question, 'companionship', and it goes both ways. Every other role couples play can easily be gotten outside marriage but marriage if you are lucky to make the right choice affords you a stable companion who would be there for you through thick and thin and if God wishes you will spend your old age with.

Liability n necessary evil to every man




Na joke ooo

Some questions makes no sense!! You can employ this to do this and that, how many can afford the regular employment of cooks, cleaners and other domestic staff for the rest of their lives? People have to reason before creating some thread. The main purpose of marriage is companionship, others are fringe benefits. And yes women are just damn too useful, much more useful than their counterpart in marriage if you will be honest to yourself for a minute.

I don't need to tell you which role is more dispensible because you know that too.

does this make sense?

- A wife sends her programmer husband to the grocery store for a loaf of bread. On his way out she says "and while you're there, get a carton of eggs". He never returned.

Calculus doesn't make sense to some folks, neither does programming.

I dig bro...I perfectly do.

the duty of a wife depends on what the husband needs help with.



Jesus Is Lord.

That's the only role of a wife cause she would be there till u grow old..I like your spirit.

a vry nice question.




as an introvert in nature, companionship will be my prerequisite in wife selection
