Family Relationship

Ok, first of all, you are entitled to your own opinion.

But I mean naturally men are the head of the family, but lately that structure is changing.  A woman does not necessary have to depend on a man in order to live and neither does a man have to depend on a woman.  Both of them are the provider of their home.

I mean people think that house keeping is not a job, but it is a full time job!  I mean it will really be cool if we could get a man to exchange with a woman just for a day or two, and then they would let us know what they thought about it.  Women that stay at home have a full time job and they even tend to work longer hours than the men do.  So they are equally entittled to raise the kids together and hold the family together with the husband.

Gone are the days when men shouted out instructions and women jump to do their bid. These days, men simply add the word 'sweetie' and women still run to carry out their wishes. Let's face it really, it's a man's world. Yes, women are helping out in the finances of the house now more than ever, but that by no means diminishes the man’s authority.

In an ideal marriage however, the husband does not laud his authority over the wife. If there is mutual respect, I should think both parties are well aware of their duties and carry them out as at when due. What women are to men are helpers. If men are without us they become almost clueless. We both (the two sexes) cannot do without the other.

As the head of the house, the man is enamoured with huge responsibilities such as security for his family,  financial provision and he is also the voice of wisdom most of the time. Nothing diminishes a man's respect faster than constantly shacking his responsibilities as the head of the family. If the head of the house remains faithful to these duties, there is absolutely no question of the wife's and indeed the children's respect for him.

In a nutshell, each party has a vital role to play in the family. Close knitted families are more often than not bound by love, respect and credibility. I speak very largely from experience, to the glory of God.

While not having to contest for the position, men however MUST maintain the position. Now that is a lifetime job. So, why make you contest for it when you spend your life defending it?

I think a family relationship should be a thing like when the man is not around and a decision has to be taken, whatever options the wife decides to take should relates to whatever the husband would have preferred best for them. 

The Bible says the TWO shall become ONE.
