The Bible is clear, the man is always the head of the family, after all Adam was the head of Eve, God created woman from man, a woman can assist the family but that does not mean she's the head. 1 Like |

my husband is the head of my home because society has made me believe so, and again because he is older in age and stronger. as for the breadwinner thing, if you give that shit talk because you're bringing more cash to the table, I'll give you that same shit talk when the table turns. 2 Likes |

dane15:Remove science from there because your analogy is not scientific, a goat will eat anything when extremely hungry with necessity no matter how you train the goat, just like wild animals, a lion trained not to eat flesh will eat anything flesh when not fed, lions are naturally carnivorous, humans eat raw flesh during early human era, they ate flesh with necessity, if a man is thrown to the jungle wont he act like animals if he doesn't find anything to eat? Are there no male cook, male servant that are trained? if parents train their boys how to keep a home like they did to girls, it will suit them and be better home keeper but in Africa many parents only train the girls how to keep the home. I agree that there may be some exceptions here and there but it does not invalidate the overall integrity of the facts that women are better home makers, men are better at logical decision making.If boys are trained on how to keep a home, they will be better home makers. Who goes into a war planning to lose? Even as a business man, if I have a team of male workers, I will trust the most logical guy to make decisions.Why? because he will make decisions without bias or sentiments.You are diverting the thread goal, the topic is about a woman being the head if she is the provider. What you are saying here is personal character. A woman providing for the family is not dumb. It only means I am taking advantage of his strength to maximize the team's productivity. I think you are seeing it from the point of " Whoever leads is better". Which is a wrong concept of a marriage.Is this is not what i am saying? if a husband cant take responsibilities as the so called head and the wife is doing it, who is stressing the brain day and night? is it the lazy husband or the hard working wife? Personally, i dont subscribe to the head of the home thing, it is kind of lame in a logical sense and reality. 1 Like |

What a topic! Is a husband the head if he is not earning and the wife brings the bacon? Yes, religiously. It would however be very hypocritical to deny that husbands have always used their earning power to have the final say or one of the critically defining factor of a head is breadwinnership. We always have phrases like 'who paid the bride price'; 'after I paid complete bride price' etc. referencing money. Before wives started earning enough to make a difference, this thread would not exist. Now we are shifting the goal post because we know tying finances to headship is very risky This now brings the question i asked in a thread.... What is the role of a husband? What is the role of a wife? 1 Like |

bukatyne:Madam Bukatyne you still dey, longest time. Anyways, the thing is the headship of a thing is lame in a logical sense and reality since is it most times tied to the breadwinner, but people of today don't have any other reason than to said it is ordained by God or society without given any factual reason for it. The reason society placed headship on men was because men are physically strong and they go out to work and provide for the family, but today the table is turning and woman are now even doing double duties than men. And when women are not doing thier responsibility as a good wife she's bashed but when the husband do same he's not bashed and still maintain the head of the house. Double standard. 1 Like |

Jsaviour:Mehn, I like your comment!!!! Any man who is not the main provider of his family is goat!! He deserves zero respect from any of his family being the wife, the kids or any other. Leave these stupid boys here that is supporting such imbecilic men, "they are worst than infidel" said the holy Bible. |

All I see in most of the post on this topic are products of either broken homes or people who are not married but have become self made consultants on marriage. Later on, they will open another tread on why marriages don't last and flood the same thread with cries of woe. Whatever opinion you hold is not what will make your marriage successful but the proven principles that have stood the test of time. The comments on this topic reek of anger and rebellion against their parents because of what they have suffered or have been denied by society. As you lay your bed, so you will lie on it. |
