To me the responsibilities of a man are: 1. Provide shelter 2. Provide food 3. Provide clothing 4. Of course provide love and affection 5. Care for the health That's the basic needs that is required from a husband according to my religion.

Honestly? If someone wanted to know what the "minimum" responsibilties are towards someone he supposedly loves and has chosen to spend the rest of his life with, I would say that he should not be married. When you love another person, you should want to put a lot of time, effort, and energy into the relstionship, making the other person happy, and having a fantastic life together.

I see responsibilities as a natural part of being in a relationship. I don't think of it in specific terms. I don't believe my husband should do this, this and this, to meet my needs or to make me happy. There is no list. It is a constant give and take and consideration from both.

when it comes to relationship, there is no such thing as minimum responsibility. In all aspects of their life and relationship each other has a full responsibility on it be it finances, honesty in relationship.... and so on, so forth. Because one cannot make it on his/her own in a relationship. For it be succesful bothof you has to be in full responsibility in all areas of llife and realtionship.

A husband is responsible towards the complete upkeep of his wife. He is responsible for not just her material and logistical needs such as food, shelter and clothing but also towards her emotional and social security. He is to ensure that her dignity is not trampled upon and should respect her need to feel secure and cared for. In India, a girl is handed over to her husband by her father during her marriage. This is known as `Kanyadaan'. `Kanya means daughter and daan means to give or donate. So the father of the bride is actually handing over his daughter to her husband who now replaces the father in taking care of her well being. This, in essence is the responsibility of a husband because even today, to a large extent, a woman's happiness and well-being is dependent on her husband, emotionally, financially, socially and physically. You men out there-indeed its a BIG responsibility and you better fulfil it.
