Roles of Family Members in Marriage
What is a family? A family is a group of people who are related to each other, usually living together. A family is like a team, and each member has a specific role to play.
There are three main roles in a family:
- Father’s Role: The father is often seen as the provider and protector of the family. He ensures the family’s safety and meets their needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter. He also teaches his children important life lessons and values.
- Mother’s Role: The mother usually manages the household and nurtures the children. She takes care of the home, prepares meals, and ensures that the children are raised with love and care. She also teaches her children about empathy, kindness, and compassion.
- Children’s Role: Children are expected to listen to their parents, help with household chores, and support each other. They should also focus on their education and behave respectfully. Children contribute to the family’s harmony by being obedient and responsible.
