Oftentimes we hear about different opinions as to how marriage will survive and succeed. Unfortunately all these opinions differ in one way or the other. this brings a lot of confusion.
The truth of the matter is everything that we need to succeed in a marriage was well documented in the Bible. It is just the greed of man that we try to introduce our own culture. Over the years these new cultures have failed us.
If and only if all go back to the Bible. We will see how God actually wanted the marriage to be.
In the beginning God created one man and one wife. the man is to love and cherish the woman. This love is shown by providing physically spiritually emotionally and many all that ways for the wife and the family that is to come. This includes providing food clothing and shelter which are the three major need of man for his wife and family.
All these are well documented in the holy book the Bible. Also the woman have to show deep respect for the man. This includes taking care of the home such as taking care of the children cleaning the house and providing food for the house. These are all documented in the Bible.
In summary the husband provides for the house and the wives take care of the home. That means the man takes care of everything pertaining to the home and the household why the woman takes care of everything pertaining the home.
Modern tradition believes that spouse should assist and help. it is loving for a man to assist his wife if he really loved her. But what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. If a man is to assist and support a woman in her role as outlined in the Bible, she should also assist in man in taking care of the house.
My own thing is if a man asks his wife to support him 30% in his own role, then he should assist the wife 30% in her own role. If it is 50%, then it goes both ways. This is when marriage is palace.
Don't mind my punctuation.
