It's a PARTNERSHIP Ivan! Each role has different responsibilities and neither are more or less important than the other. Maybe in some cultures the husband is still mostly in control but in the Western world for example the days of the 1950's housewife and the husband as the all powerful breadwinner are long gone!

both have it's own responsiblity but counting the physical aspect it's more of the wife, e.i. taking good care of the husband and children, tiding the home, prepare the foods to eat, etc, etc, etc, and financial things are more for the husbands.

LAILA THE financial factor is not a big deal it can be done by anyone. but if the wife doesnt take the responsibility to stay at home like if she doesnt cook or take care of the kids what would happen then ?

Hello,Ivan! From my experience I can safely come to the conclusions that the wife is more responsible than the husband.Besides doing all house hold works she she takes much pain in nourishing the kids and other members of the family specially the elderly people and finds little time for her own shake.She cooks for the entire family,does the marketing,washes clothes of all members of the house,takes care of the education of her kids.If she ie a working lady the responsibility grows more.But the husband does nothing except earning money for the maintenance of the family.In my case I did practically nothing for my home or for the children.I simply earned money and hand over her and she did the lots for the good of my family.So she is great.Thanx.

I think wife has more responsiblity. She must take care of her husband make his things ready when he wants to leave to office. Take care of cooking. Take care of kids. Take care of Inlaws. Must take care of all household works. If working then she need to take care of her job and also she need to take care of herself. But husbands duty is mostly limited to earning he does not take care of household works and he will be least bothered. except few exceptions who help their wife sometimes.

I am not married yet. In my own point for view, husband or the man has greater responsibility in raising his family. He has to do everything to feed them, have good education for the children and provide them a good life as possible.

same here, the husband is the one who has the greater load in taking care of the family specially in the financial factor,discipline of the children, maintenance,and when problem comes the father is the one who is greatly affected...thats why man has a shorter life span than woman maybe of course is the big responsibility that makes a husband be deprived with vacation and rest as well as the proper physical care for a longer life span..but actually greater responsibility is to whoever work for a living in the family, if the woman is the one working then the responsibility will be too big for her, and that is quite frustrating for her working instead of the husband

It depends on the family situation. And each party likely feels that they have the most responsibility.
Up until a few months ago my husband was a stay at home dad. So, our situation is different than most. I feel i have the most responsibility because I have to work, pay the bills, take care of meals, and so on. I am sure he feels that he has the most responsibility because he has to get the kids ready for school, pick them up, he spends the most time with them, and so on.
