The Order of Familys
I have read on this topic and I can date it back to around A.D 60 from Rome I cant remember exactly how it was actually written but it went something like this;

A Man shall leave his father and mother to find a wife and the two shall join and become like one.

Wives submit to your own Husbands for your Husband is the head. Wives be to your Husbands in everything. Husbands you shall love, respect and honor your Wives. For it is said; he who finds a Wife finds a good thing – Sanctify your wife and she will be like a crown of precious jewels upon your head. Husbands you are your wives protector against all that is unwell in the world respect her like you respect yourself so she may see that you do. See her as the glorious vessel she is without spot or wrinkle and without blemish for all days and she will be pleasing to you.

Another more updated article simply said Wives understand and support your Husbands as he provides leadership to his Wife not by domineering but by cherishing, so Wives should submit to their Husbands and Husbands must love their Wives in everything.

Order of family’s cont…..

I do agree with this however I also think that we should and need to work together in everything a marriage is an equal partnership. If the wife is good at organizing the money then let it be if the husband is the better breadwinner then let that be or vica versa. Every marriage is different they all have their strong points and their bad, If you respect each other and their opinion why cant there be equality in the home. We all have our bad days and our good days too. If one is tired the other should carry them through. My husband and I are not totally correct in everything but we realize that some rules were put in place to protect us and help us – we have our way of doing things that might not seem right to some but it works for us, I may whine and he may complain. But if we all liked the same things and had the same ways of thinking, acting, seeing and doing we would not be male and female. I think that there will always be some conflict between the sexes especially in the home because there will always be someone who thinks that they know better. Gosh I know I think that I can never be wrong and have to have the last say, so as long as there is people like me in the world there will always be forums and discussions and to me that is good because I like to write and read and listen to what everyone else thinks about everything I am inquisitive and I also am having fun.

I do not wish to offend anyone with what I have written I believe we are all entitled to an opinion and I respect you all and what you have written I love diversity and believe it or not sometimes someone does have a better answer than me – we all learn knew things everyday and I am open to that. Finally the End
