The focus of this series will be on the married and singles. If you are engaged and soon to be married, you will find this series useful and i can assure you that it will serve as a quality frame of reference for you to make quality decisions on how to run your home when you become married. Although, the content of this series will be more on the different categories of roles in marriage, it can be used as a template to guide pre-marital relationships as they both share the same concept. It is an article that will beam light on your roles during the courtship period, before the wedding day. Your fiancé or fiancée will soon become your husband and your wife respectively. The role each person is playing now will translate to the role the person will play when you are married.

I also like to clarify that the basis on which this article is written is with the concept of man and woman as the couple, with the understanding that God instituted marriage. Therefore, my writing will be in line with that concept in mind.

There will be a need for a brief introduction to our discussion to understand different roles in marriage. We need to understand the different roles in any family setting, we have the man, woman, children, possibly maids, siblings, extended relations, parents and in-laws. However, for the purpose of this article, I will classify the categories as; Man, woman, children, maids and family relations. This setting is similar to that in any organization where we have the owner of the business with different departments carrying out their roles and functions according to their job descriptions. Imagine what would happen if all departments were allowed to make decisions independently without considering the overall objective of the organization. Your guess is as good as mine; chaos and waste of resources are what should be expected.

In the same vein, if we don’t deliberately consider these roles in families, it can equally have similar effects. Infact, the lack of understanding of these roles have broken many homes and still making some couples endure instead of enjoying their marriages. For instance, what are the things expected of a man in marriage or relationship? What about the wife? The children? The maids or family relations?

 The next article will focus on the role of the man. Till I come your way next time, always remember, you can experience bliss in your relationship.
