What do you feel God has to say about this? Do you agree or not agree with what the Bible has to say about it or not and why?

The role of the husband is to be the Head of the wife and Christ is the head of the husband and of the church and gave himself for it! The husband is to be the provider and the leader in the home spiritually and in other things as well. He is to love the wife and cherish her as he does himself and he is to nurture her and care for her and take care of her! He is to love and cherish her all the days of his life! A man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and they two shall become one flesh!
The role of the wife is to be in subjection and submission to her husband and to not be a doormat but to do this willingly and in love! She also is to be his helpmate and take care of the home. She is to respect and love her husband and treat him the way she wants to be treated! She is to love and honor him all the days of her life!
Yes i totally agree with God and the Bible on this!

The role of a husband and wife in a marriage are different for each couple. For example, I have seen couples where the wife is in charge of the finances and others where the husband is. Both situations worked for the couples involved. I have also seen situations where the woman earns more than the man and of course vice versa. It doesn't really matter if it is all going to the family. The Bible refers to each doing what he (or she) is best at, or in other words, using your God given talents. To me this means that there are a lot of ways to make a marriage work. I think the most important part is that you both respect each other.

The woman gets pregnant and has children while the husband makes the money to provide for them. Of course many people like to blur these lines.
According to the bible, the wife is the servant of the husband and can be beaten, raped, and murdered for infidelity. Damn good thing for my wife I am an atheist.

If you read in the bible rather than yahoo answers,, in Corinthians it spells out the whole ideal for a good marraige. Loving your wife as you love yourself. Seeking good for one another the same way that you seek good for yourself. It goes back to the golden rule, Treat others as you want to be treated.
I think each couple can work out their own rules. I think God makes the union then leaves it to our free will to choose what we do with it.

Dude the bible was writen 2,000 years ago. it was a differant time. sure there's good guide lines in there but we live in a differant world now. It's up to every couple to determine their own roles based on thier talents, needs, and habits.

I say that they are to be true and there for one another equally, and give more when the other is down.
