Society says a women role in a marriage is to be a helper to
their husband. In the bible is says God realized it wasn't good for man to be
alone, and he decided to make helpers for man and that’s were women were
introduced. Another role as a wife is to respect their husband. When women respect their husband they reverence
him, notice him, regard him, honor him, prefer him, and esteem him. A wife is “supposed”
value their husbands opinion, admire his wisdom and character, appreciating his
commitment to you, and as well as considering his needs and values. They say
men have needs and as a woman we need to fulfill them. As a woman we are supposed to submit to the
leadership of our husbands, and love them dearly.
I agree with this to an extent. I believe Men and women
should give and receive the same type of love and affection from their spouses.
Women have needs too and we need our husbands to fulfill those needs. We want our husbands to support us and respect
us just like how they want us to them.

Highlighting the role of women in marriage is a fantastic topic. I really agree with all the different ways women impact a marriage as people who support their husband, but also are looked at as leaders. Concluding I also agree with the statement that women and men should be given the same amount of love and affection. Great work and I look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the fact that both men and women require the same amount of love and affection. However, many men over time have come to believe that they are dominant and that women should always be there to "obey" them. Just like you, I don't think that should be the case; women should have as much power as men. Particularly in a marriage where there are so many things to take care of (children, bills, job, house cleaning etc) and all the responsibility cannot pertain to just one person, rather it should be distributed among both. I enjoyed reading your article!
ReplyDeleteWomen aren't just helpers to men and should receive the same amount of love and respect that they give. In marriage, two people accept each other for life and promise to share the burden and good times. No one dominant force and no submissive. Your post was great and well written.
