The man is the ceremonial head but the lady is the realistic head.

Only ladies who can harness the power of submissiveness will understand.

Marriage is not a leadership, followership, it's a partnership.

we are in the age where everyone wants to be heard and everyone wants to be noticed and liked

and this has resorted to so many new trends and culture that back in the days didn't exist.

Now a woman wants equal right as a man and will say "what a man can do a woman can do better"

I'm not against this movement or trend or whatever it is called

but if a wife also struggles for equal rights in terms of leadership with her husband

then who is the follower, who gives the instructions, who is the one to submit

two captains can't lead a ship but it seems in this days of social media everyone wants to take the lead.

so who is really the head of the house?


Social Studies question!

Technically, the husband.

Practically, the wife.

If u know, u know. tongue

You are the only one with sense here. You can never have two commanders in a Unit. One will be the commander and the other the 1sgt. Just as you said the husband is recognized as the head but he is in partnership with the wife on all things because in reality, the 1sgt runs the the company and the commander plans the long range calendar.

In marriage there's nothing like equality

The man is the leader and head and the woman is the follower and supporter.

The man is the pilot and the woman is the flight attendant and not the co-pilot

Women are not designed to lead men especially, if a woman leads in a relationship she will lead the relationship to its end.

It's not a partnership

There is a dominant gender and a submissive gender in marriage.

Men must provide and protect their wives

Women must submit to their husbands

Men must provide security to their wives
Women must be Fidel to their husbands

It's like asking who is head of a pride.


There is no such thing as equality for it does not exist. It's just a human illusion we tell ourselves to make us seem human and decent enough. In reality there is no such thing.


In company you have boss. In you church you have pastors. In University of higher learning that foster this notions you have v.c and heads of departments. In nation's head of state. L.g chairman.




Likewise in families. But rather than look at it through the lens of oppression or dominant hierarchies. Look at it through that of responsibilities scale.

Your boss is only your boss because he takes on the most task in the office. And has been doing so for a great lenght of time. Probably before your arrival. The president oversees task from science to tech to health to business/ commerce. E.tc. so is the pastors.

The father is leaders because he takes on the most responsibilities. That's how it should be seen. From position of honest responsibilities.

Which kind yeye question be this na?

Op, shey na your mother be head for ya house?

forget all these feminists, if you are a man, be a Man and take charge of your house.

some women a cunning, they tests the waters to know if you are a man that knows his onions and can take decisions.

once you begin dey do all these me and my wife are equal, they will ride you.

Respect her, love her, take care of her but let her know say if she do anyhow, there are consequences.

The man is the leader and head bt what people don’t understand is what leadership means. Leader doesn’t mean dictator or wisest or all knowing or boss. Lol

It means servant, example, coordinator and team player, responsibility taker, speaker, decision taker etc..

Honestly , I can never understand why Africa make a house of 3 people so important that we would have to be discussing who is the chief of a one room apartment of 3 people .
Marriage is a union between two people , and u religious lot who like to believe two becomes one , if truly two would become one then what part of that one is the chief and subject ??

If the husband is rich the husband is the head of the family

But if he is on average income - both

But if you are broke - the wife

Traditionally the husband is the head. He leads his family along their path: spiritual, moral, financial, etc. And the wife submits to his leadership.

If the husband is the captain in the marriage then the wife is his crew. smiley

a captain protects his crew and must be an example for them to follow. a captain gives the final order aboard the ship but he has assistance with everything and he takes advice from his subordinates. A good captain values his crew and understands that the ship’s operations can not be performed without his crew.

When a captain is proving himself unqualified for his position he lowers the morale of the crew, they won’t perform their tasks well and won’t respect the leadership. When the captain is dangerously incompetent he will be relieved of duty or even face a mutiny.

What many marriages suffer from today is incompetent leadership leaving the crew forced to take over the duties of guiding the ship.
