I come as a christian


But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 1 Corinthians 11:3

1 Timothy 3:5 - (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?


1 Timothy 3:12 - Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Ephesians 5:23 - For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Colossians 3:18 - Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.





1 Timothy 2:12 - But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
SUBMISSIVENESS IS THE GREATEST POWER GOD CREATED, AND ITS GIVEN TO A WOMAN. EVERY WOMAN WHO STARTS TO TALK FEMINISM AT EARLY AGE DOESN'T GO FARTHER. NO MAN WANT A THREAT OF A WOMAN AROUND HIM

The man is the ceremonial head but the lady is the realistic head.

Only ladies who can harness the power of submissiveness will understand.

100% RIGHT. THE REASON I KNOW THE WORLD WILL COME TO END SOME IS THE FACT MEN ARE ACCEPTING AND PUTTING IN LAWS AGAINST THEMSELVES TO PLEASE WOMEN. WITHOUT THESE THINGS HAPPENING , THE WORD OF GOD THAT SAYS SOO MANY WOMEN WILL BE BEGGING ONE MAN FOR MARRIAGE. FEMINISM IS HERE TO BRING GODS WORD TO PAST

In marriage there's nothing like equality

The man is the leader and head and the woman is the follower and supporter.

The man is the pilot and the woman is the flight attendant and not the co-pilot

Women are not designed to lead men especially, if a woman leads in a relationship she will lead the relationship to its end.

The head of the home is

1. the one who eventually answers the door when armed robbers are knocking at the door and the whole family is afraid\
2. The one who shoulders all the emotional, physical, mental and social burden of the family and doesnt complain.
3. The one who defends the home.

A man with pepper is the head of the family. Which also means that if the woman is the one catering for the family dats means the mantle is for her in our Nigeria today.

so who is really the head of the house?


Once upon a time, making money and decisions was a preserve for men. Heck everyone knew it. Remember way back when your teacher would ask: “Who is the head of the family?” The answer was always a unanimous chorus: “Father!”

The last I heard, the primary school syllabus still required this same answer when that particular question is asked. Never mind that there is a legal obligation to get rid of sexist ideas in the syllabus. You know the kind where the doctor is always a man and the nurse, a woman.

When we rewind the clock by a few decades, we find that this was the norm. Father bought food, paid rent, school fees and he made all the decisions. All other people in the household did was follow orders from above.

But enter working mothers, stay home dads, single mothers, single fathers, child headed households, same sex relationships and even those with no family to speak of, and all of a sudden, the scales are tilted beyond what we ever envisioned.

Unusual family structures

Today, we have some women earning way more than the men. Situations actually arise when it is more beneficial and viable for the man to stay home and look after the family while the woman goes to work, since she is more qualified or has a better job and earns more. We have all seen the heroism of a single father who casts aside his ego and society’s expectations and suddenly he is not the household head.

He is at once the father but also has to take on the motherly roles. And the single mother who works hard to make ends meet. What about those who do not belong to a home at all? I am talking about the people who wander the streets and are content just to have what to eat if nothing else.

Then there are the unlucky children whom fate has ushered into adulthood before their time.They are young and need care, but they have to cast their needs aside and care for their even younger siblings. And, finally, there is that group we would rather not talk about, mostly because they upset the family structures we are used to the most.

They are generically referred to as homosexuals, and sometimes they do have families complete with children. What you have is a father and father or mother and mother… it is hard to accurately say the father is the head of the family in these situations.

Proponents of the father-is-head-of-family-theory will be quick to point out that these are abnormal situations. They argue that ideally a family must have a father, who heads it, and mother and children who are his subservient.

No need to ask this question. Headship of the home is on the man. The woman is the support.
Re: Who Is The Head Of The Family? Husband, Wife Or Both by witworth(m): 5:47am On Apr 08, 2021
For the family, Husband is the head of state, wife is the prime minister
That one na if na parliamentary system of government for the house o
And for the home if na presidential system, man na president, wife na both vice president and first lady join.

As you have asked an unreasonable question, me self have irrational answers so there u have it.
Coz e be like say you dey ask who is the head of the government between Buhari and osinbajo.
Abi shey na Aisha go marry Buhari ni or na Buhari go marry am.
If you no satisfy, ask the ancestors

It depends on who's the breadwinner of the family, if you're a man and your wife is the breadwinner of the family and all you do is watching soccer games from morning till night, then she's automatically elevated to the position of the head of the household while you have been demoted to assistance head of the household. grin

Only simps are headed practically by their wives. A man is the head all in all!

In many families, when the man dies, the first son, if he is grown becomes the head even if the mother is educated. It's natural, you can't fight with nature

It's only when the man is mentally and spiritually fit that's when he is the head. If he's a fool , the wife is the head.

I agree with your opinion.

But I disagree with this your attachment. Men want many things also in a relationship/marriage.
Or are you saying as a man you don't want :

RESPECT
ATTENTION
COMMENDATION/APPRECIATION
GIFTS
SUBMISSION
.....

Prove me wrong!

Once loyalty is involved, their will be special respect, attention, submission & appreciation ma'am..

Loyalty is heavy and that’s why it’s hard to find..

Gift is more of a compliment and compliment encourages...
