Hello everyone! Today we will touch on another interesting question about who is in charge in the family. Disputes on this topic have been going on for quite some time, and are hotly discussed from all sides. Traditionally, it is believed that the head of the family is the man who makes decisions, protects and provides for his family. However, in modern society, family roles have become less rigid and are often distributed among all family members. If you observe modern young couples, you will notice that the trend is closer to equality, that is, to the absence of a “head” as such. Just a few decades ago, such a question could not be discussed at all, since the head by default was a man and, it must be said, that this traditional model had some success. Times change, but the fact remains unchanged that in order to build a long-term marriage and strong relationships, it is necessary to decide on roles in the family at the initial stage of interaction. Below we will consider all aspects in more detail. What types of leadership exist in a couple? The head of the family is a man. It is easy to guess that in this model, the man’s responsibilities by default include building a house, getting food, planting a tree, or in other words, in modern language, providing financial support life and family. In addition, the more responsibilities in the family fall on the husband, the better for all its participants. The husband feels his authority, knows that he is needed, and takes on the corresponding responsibility. The woman, in turn, accepts and agrees with the role assigned to the man and delegates to him the right to make serious decisions for all family members. It is due to this that harmony is subsequently achieved. The head of the family is a woman. Everything here is not as smooth and calm as in the first option. If a woman strives to occupy a leadership position in a relationship, then she has to literally win this place from the man. Such a woman is able to earn on an equal basis with her husband, and often more, while she can raise children, run a household and easily take on some of the man’s responsibilities. Here it is important to pay attention to what kind of man is nearby. If this is a strong and authoritarian person, then, of course, he will not be able to bend to such conditions and conflicts will be inevitable. If a man has a softer character and is comfortable being “on the sidelines,” then such a relationship has a chance for a very happy future. Two leaders at the head of the table. This phrase alone already indicates the absurdity of the situation. If both partners are endowed with leadership qualities, then how to determine who is in charge? Perhaps there is a way after all, and it is called an endless conflict and battle for the throne. Is this a happy relationship? Long term? Don't think. As a rule, such couples break up before they even begin to form. Well, or they play the game “sado-maso” for some period of time. Equality. Does it even exist? In modern society, they shout about equality from every voice and consider this model to be the most correct and convenient for each person in a couple. If we observe such relationships, then one day we will still notice how one of the spouses unobtrusively and carefully begins to pull the blanket over himself. Can this still be considered equal rights? Yes, most likely, in such a couple it is easier to agree and find a compromise than in one where two leaders are openly fighting for the throne, and such a marriage will be the most comfortable and enjoyable, because here the spouses know how to interact with each other friend, to hear and listen to the needs of everyone. Now to the conclusions. If we turn to the well-known saying “a man is the head, a woman is the neck,” then the wisdom of a woman here is that she, being in the shadows, can nevertheless have an influence on decisions made in the family. At the same time, the man remains the formal authority and head - everyone is comfortable, everyone is happy. But you have probably heard more than once how women complain that “there are no real knights” and “there is no one to rely on in this life.” And if you dig deeper,!
