Lesson Content
Roles of Family Members in Marriage
In a family, each member has specific roles and duties that help maintain harmony and function.
- 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. This means that the father plays a crucial role in the family’s well-being.
- 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. This means that the mother is central to the emotional and social development of the children.
- 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. This means that children contribute to the family’s harmony by being obedient and responsible.
