What is the role of a woman in a marriage or a family?

Answer 1

to love and support her husband and family

Answer 2

This one is really a difficult one to answer ...so many definitions of family and roles that people take. I personally used to work. I worked all the time. But then again I was a single working mom for the longest time. When I met my husband, he had gotten a great paying job where I didnt have to go and work. He loves my cooking, how I take care of my son, the way I decorate and keep the house nice, do laundry, take care of bills, run errands for the company he works for, stay on top of tasks. Now, that's a daily job, I dont have days off, and the pay sucks...but I also wouldnt trade having the ability to be able to say the right thing, be there exactly when my son needs me, or even always being the one to come up with romantic ideas to keep the marriage fresh because he's to busy thinking about work to always think of that. Gotta admit the perks are great.

Answer 3

When God Made Eve she was to be a helper, or a complement of her husband. Wives should respect their husbands, who have the great responsibility to support the family, materially, emotionally, spiritually, and in what ever way that is needed.
Wives are to be treated by the Husband in a loving way, remembering that she has needs different than his own, and she is treasure for her Husband.
Especially since most of the women usually raise the kids, cook, clean, and do many functions in the home to get it running smoothly. Some wives even work outside the home. When the family work together, and respect each other, things go well for the whole group. In the Bible, it says, "That the man is the Head of the family." Some women feel that this is degrading for her. But it is not. God wants women to be treated respectfully by man, and man has to answer to God for their wrongful behavior to women.
Being the head of the family is an important roll, men have so much to do for the family, but so is the roll of the women as
mans helper. If we all respect the way God views marriage, and relationships, then all of us will have Gods Blessings.

Answer 4

My role in my marriage is simply to be the best wife and mother I can be. My husband works A LOT and I stay home with the kids, keep the house clean and make sure my husband is happy when he gets home. Kissing boo boos, giving hugs and kisses and shopping are just some of the perks of my role. But the best part is seeing all the smiling faces when we all do stuff together.

Answer 5

Depends on the man and woman as a couple. You have all types now. You have working moms and stay at home dads. You will also have many different view here. Religious to what ever, but as I stated before it is all what the couple come up with together. Oh and if you have an Alpha Female and Alpha Male and their thoughts are different.. ha, ha. The fun begins, but things hopefully work out after a struggle or two. I think you get the point

Answer 6

Her role is to raise her children to be good hardworking people with honesty and dignity. To stand with her husband as one and to ride out the many storms that come with a marriage.To love and honor him as he should love and honor her. To be a good listener to children and husband,as well as they for her. The role of the woman in marriage is to try her best to keep the marriage intact and as loving and worry free for her husband as she can. She is a mother and friend to her children and a lover and friend to her husband. She is the rock that holds marriages together when there is no hope left to hold on to,she will do this till her death

Answer 7

Depends on who you ask and believe. Since we people were made by God he is the best source. The whole Bible will not fit here. You really need to read and study it your self. Stay away from religions that say men and woman are they same, and stay away from the ones that say one is better than the other. Men and woman both have important roles. Check out Focus on the family website for some good books.

Answer 8

the role of a woman in her family is more than one. The first being she is the protector of her children, and her husband is the protector of them all. She is the one who guides them in their life leaving the husband to do his duties.
A wife should be obedient and I do not mean submissive, submissive means that she has to get the crap kicked out of her first and then she'll decide that she'd better do what she's told to do or else; it doesn't work like that, well at least according to my book.
Being obedient doesn't mean that the wife is a slave it just means that she is following her husbands wish to maintain order, and it is her job to help him as his helpmate to maintain order.
A wife at all times should be kind and considerate.
A wife must never refuse her husband his sexual needs, unless she is ill.
A wife must never let her mind or her body go to pot; she should remain desirous.
A wife must never whine and complain about her friends and, or her other problems to her husband, but take care of them on her own, or with the help of another friend.
A wife must never hold secrets from her husband that have everything to do with their relationship and, or marriage, including the kids.
A wife is not to nag as that is the first thing that turns a man off; besides, nagging is so unbecoming.
A wife must keep away from those who mean her, her husband, her children, and her marriage harm.
Last and most important of all she must present her self in proper attire and that means no pajamas.

Answer 9

For better or worse (my opinion only) the woman is the emotional barometer of the family.- ie when mommy is okay, everybody is okay- Women are a lot stronger than men, believe it or not and being a mom is hard work- both physically and emotionally. So, a woman's role is to take care of herself first so she can be her "best self" for her family!

Answer 10

The role of a women is to be the help to her husband. She is suppose to be submissive to him and also him to her. She is to take care of her wife duties as the husband and wife agrees on. she is to nurture the family. She's to show respect and obey her husband. This is not as a child is to obey though. Obey her husband is like if he make a decision for the family and he thinks that this is the best decision and it does not hurt the family, then she is to follow him on that decision. Or if he thinks that it is not best for his family to go somewhere or do something for a responsible reason then the wife is to follow him on his decision.

Answer 11

To support and love her husband and receive love and support back. In marriage without kids, it's best that both people work to help with income. Once kids are in the picture, it's best that one parent stay home to care for them in the early years. Women are generally better at that...but not always. There are some good stay at home dads. I would say you have to determine which parent would be better at caring for little ones, and that parent stay home at least during the crucial early years.
