Oh well, I agree that the family relationship is absolutely important. But I think that both husband and wife should manage the family, not only the man.

Oh well, traditionally, the husband ought to be the head of the family because the women did not work. But now, that belief is changing: women work too and they contribute equally in the running of the family. So I think the right thing is for both of them to manage the family. There ought to be understanding, and that is achieved if they both work together.

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.

ukperegbu Solomon:

I agree with you that women too, but this is to support the effect of the man in making the home. However, the man remains the head of that family, and he is the one that issues out instructions to be obeyed in that house.

(Emphasis mine)



Instructions to be obeyed! Come on, this is the 21st century. Where have you been for the past 200 years?



Now I truly understand the meaning of the word 'hilarious'! So please register asap and let's counsel you!

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.

Well, I'm glad that I get to be the head of the family by default. Isn't that wonderful? I don't even have to contest for the position!

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?

Well when I said that the man has the resposibility to manage the family, I did not means the man should be issueing out instructions without the agreement of both parties, that the man and the wife. the man always has the last say in any matter in the house, he will listen to every one idea before giving out the last order. No wife or woman with respect can issue instructions to the husband and believe me if any which means there is problem somewhere in that house.

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.

I tot we were talking about a family here and not a camp of soilders.....haba...whats with the instruction stuff. No one gives instruction, rather we all, including the kids give opinion and delibrate and the parents now agree on the issue. Giving instructions sounds more like a boss to her secretary or smthg like tha.

yes, it is. it's very important

Make I follow buy land here

Yes, if your wife contributes money to the family then you are giving her a share in your authority, but I can't feed, cloth, house, school, health and fvck and not expect absolute obedience from my wife. Call me old fashioned I don't care.
