The Roles of the Husband

Distinguishing a Man from a Husband

THERE is a difference between a man and a husband, as not every man will be a husband. However, every husband must know who he is and be the best husband he is called to be.

Every man seeking a wife must demonstrate certain essential qualities. Those important qualities will cause women of high quality to be attracted to them, and each man must choose one of these women for his wife. At that point, he is expected to treat her as his companion and the person with whom he will spend his future.

Married men must focus on their wives and avoid activities that could disrupt their marriage. In addition, when men are married, they may not be able to spend as much time with their friends, parents, and siblings, as they have to invest more time in their new family.

Some men are afraid that after they get married, they will lose their identity and will no longer do many of the things they once enjoyed. However, when they marry, men make commitments to be there for their families, so they will have to give up some temporary things to raise a successful family. The success of many families depends on men understanding and fulfilling their roles as fathers.

Many husbands are expected to have the following basic qualities. However, if they do not have all of these qualities, that does not disqualify them from being husbands. Some men were trained by parents who had not learned these qualities themselves. Therefore, some men will not embrace or practise these basic qualities. Other men possess more than these basic qualities when they get married.

It is expected that husbands will be gentle to their wives. They must treat their wives as an important resource in their marriages. A husband must let his wife know that she is the queen in the marriage and that he is delighted to have her in his life. She must have that assurance that her husband, her king, is looking after her interests and that he is in love with her alone.

A husband must treat his wife with kindness and respect. She must never be treated as inferior or taken for granted in the marriage. He will make her feel great, just like he wants to feel great.

Every marriage will have challenges. Not every husband will be able to adequately and independently address every problem that arises. Nevertheless, he must not run away from challenges. He must show his wife that he will stand up for the family, and even when many things are not working the way the family expects, he will be there to work through those difficult challenges.

When husbands avoid challenges, they make their wives vulnerable. Some wives will look for other men who can stand up against challenges and be there for the family. This situation may lead to a divorce because the wife needs a husband who is not afraid of challenges. Every marriage will go through many trials, but those trials often make the marriage stronger and cause both people to work as a team to succeed.

Every husband must have love for his family. He must love his wife and their children, and he is also expected to love his extended family. When some men marry, they are often focused solely on their wives and forget their in-laws, but they must also love their wives’ families and provide great support whenever the need arises.

The Husband’s Main Roles

Some men are afraid to get married because of the responsibilities that come with being a husband. However, men must be willing to take on challenges, as they are expected to be leaders. When husbands are afraid to provide leadership to their families, they may cause other family members to take on the roles that husbands are expected to do.

The entire family may be depressed, but husbands must motivate them to fulfill their dreams and march towards their goals. Wives need the support of their husbands on many occasions. Therefore, husbands, be the best supporter that your wife needs.

Provider and protector are other roles that husbands are expected to fulfill. Even if a husband is not the primary provider in his home, he must contribute to the success of his family. As protectors, husbands must keep their wives and children safe.

It is not guaranteed that all husbands will talk as much as their wives. However, husbands must still be effective in verbal and non-verbal communication with their wives.

Husbands are expected to participate in giving advice and to have a strategy for their family. First, they must consider where they would like their family to be in the next five to ten years. Then, based on the strategic direction, husbands may have to make a significant investment for their family.

Wives often love it when their husbands contribute to domestic activities. Children sometimes love to seek out their fathers to cook for them, clean the house, or shop for groceries. Husbands must know where to find the kitchen utensils and how to prepare their family’s favourite meals.

Husbands are not expected to know everything about their wives, but they should spend some time studying with them. Once they know more about their spouses, they must take steps to bring joy into the marriage. Every wife wants to know that she has a husband who is her lover alone. Therefore, he must respect her in both private and public places.

After giving birth to children, some wives may lose some of the physical beauty they had when they entered the marriage. However, there is hope, as their husbands can help them maintain their health and stay in shape. Together, they can both arrange to eat healthy meals and to exercise. As they exercise, they may be able to reduce extra weight.

Wives love to be celebrated. Therefore, husbands, honour your wives. Look for every possible occasion to celebrate her. Let her know that she is the only woman in your life and that you are willing to give your time, money, and effort to celebrate the queen of your life.

Celebrating Husbands

Celebrating husbands is an essential thing to do. Children and wives cannot achieve the roles that husbands perform. Therefore, every husband must be celebrated.

Wives must encourage their children to make their fathers feel special on a regular basis. No wife should be ashamed to celebrate her husband since she loves him and leaves no room for other women to capture his interest.

Husbands’ birthdays may be an excellent time to celebrate them. On a couple’s wedding anniversary, the husband must be celebrated alongside his wife.
