What should be the duties of Husbands overall?

Question

(according to religion) and overall what does your religion say? what examples of husband and wife do you have in your religion?

Answer 1

A husband and wife should love each other and show mutual respect for one another. To put it in the shortest terms possible, they should treat each other the way they would want the other one to treat them.

Answer 2

The duties of a husband an wife are dependent on time, place and national social structure. What would have been considered the norm in 1920 is not the norm today. And with regard to religion...

I am Wiccan. We perceive men and women as equals. Both are necessary for the reproduction of our species and as such, have equal value. Now. Most religions will say the same thing. But "truth" is in the action not in the word. Go to a Wiccan Circle. You will see a High Priest and a High Priestess. Both have a necessary and equal function in Ritual. Both are respected equally. As it states in the Wiccan wine blessing, "One without the other is incomplete."

Do you find this in Catholicism? Are there women Catholic priests?

Answer 3

What should be the duties of Husbands overall?

Answer 4

I am a Christian and follow the Bible, and really the only requirement is that husbands are to love their wives and dwell with them according to knowledge. But - especially in the New Testament - when the Bible addresses husbands, reciprocity is always at work. Husbands have their part, and wives have their part.

For instance, 1 Corinthians 7:3 says, Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. If you read the verses before and after, you can see that what that means is not to deny each others' sexual needs being fulfilled so as to avoid fornication.

In Ephesians 5:33 it says, Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

In Colossians 3:19 it says, Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. But, then, in the verse before that it says, Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

What a lot of people are quick to point out is the husband's responsibility in the marriage, and I've seen plenty of husbands point out the responsibility of the wives. And I see a lot of failure to recognize that both have their parts to uphold in order for the marriage to flourish. And that's all it's about is the marriage flourshing; this is what is pleasing to God.

Answer 5

My personal belief and everyone is free to believe as they will. I am a woman and I know this will offend many women, but I feel that it is the mans job to work and provide for his family and the womans job is to take care of the children and home (however, sometimes there are different circumstances that prohibit women from being able to do this). This does not mean that the husband should not help his wife out when she needs him. I believe a husband should help with the children when he can.

Answer 6

The man is the head of the household and is in charge of religion and money flow and taking care of his wife as Christ would the church. He is to submit his body to the will of his wife just as she is to him. A woman is to take care of the house and make sure it runs smoothly and to make sure her children are kept clean and taught manners.She is to be treasured by her husband and in return she is to be obedient to him. That does not mean he says jump and she asks how high. Keep in mind that if the husband cannot or will not take care of the religion in the home, then it falls to the wife. If the husband is not saved but the wife is then he is offered some grace through her. They are to be partners, but the man is to have the final say.

Answer 7

i believe men need to try their best to be the best Man, and Husband they can be. that means to take charge of their roles as Head of Household, Provider, Bread Winner, and Decision Maker.

If a husband does his best to take care of this part, than the Wife is ABLE to do hers, which is to be Caretaker, Nurturer, Supporter, Helper, Take care of the Nest.

I am Christian, and there are passages in the bible that say "Wife must Obey Husband".. HOWEVER most people do not realize that it also says "Husband must Respect Wife". a husband Has to be RESPECTABLE and DEPENDABLE in order for the wife to trust and be committed.

whether or not, in today's society, some of the roles may be mixed (sometimes the Woman is the breadwinner, the Man is the caretaker), the Whole point is that you Must Respect each other!!! and you must take your roles, and do the best to your ability, so that the Family can thrive, survive, and Grow. it is in Your best interest to be the best Husband and Wife you can be, so that you can reinforce and help your partner to do the same!

good luck to us all.... the more we respect and honor ourselves and our Roles, the better we can respect and honor our Partners and Their Roles!! :)

Answer 8

In the christian religion (and this applies even if the women think women's lib is ok) is for the husband to provide and support his wife and children. He is the leader of the home as every unit needs a leader. He is a disaplinary to the children when they do wrong and is a faithful partner to his wife.

A wife is supposed to stay at home and care for the children (no daycare centers) and keep the home and cook. When a woman is working a paying half the bills she has stepped out of her submissive spot and is not acting like a biblical wife.

Answer 9

Answer 10

A husband should love his wife like Christ loves the church. Jesus died for us that's the best example of the lengths real Love will go to.
