When you fail to prepare you indefinitely is preparing to fail. I strongly believe that if 70% of the Christian families we have in this nation are morally upright, parents training their kids in a godly way, Nigeria will be a better place. This informed my desire to attend as much relationship and marriage seminars as possible, read books and online articles on them and also listen to sermons on the same issue. But, then I recall with nostalgia that 90% of them seems to unanimously agree on the fallacy that the responsibility of making a good home lies more on the female folk. A lie which is gradually bought as the truth due to the consistency in which we are bombarded by it. Let it be known that I am no feminist who preaches equal right in marriage, that can never be true, women are help meet whose ordained duty is joyfully support her husband in the direction he is going. Yet, I know that ladies are exceptional folks with great intelligence and gift to make exploits and that is why I am compelled to speak to the marriage counselors, Pastors, authors, bloggers and our parents to know that Biblically the responsibility is more on the man as shown in Genesis18:19, 1Timothy3:4-5;12-13, Ephesians 5:23, e.t.c. Therefore, we should be fed with the right and balanced Biblical analysis and truth. The following should be stopped: 1. Blaming the wife alone as being responsible for her husband's infedility. Where is the gift of self control? 2) The wife alone should be blamed if calamity befalls the family because she is carnal and doesn't pray. Come on! Isaac prayed for his wife Rebecca and she conceived. The men should get on their knees and do same. 3. The woman should be blamed if there is rancour in the family. She probably doesn't know how to shower love on her husband. Mothers should teach their daughters how to love and respect their husbands, fair enough! But are the fathers admonished to teach their sons that women are not sex objects but emotional beings that should be treasured. 4. If the children goes astray they suddenly become their mothers children but the last time I checked she did not impregnate herself. The nation is in dire need of virtuous women and godly men whose role in the family is much more than keeping the family abreast financially. Hence both sexes should be groomed to be their best.
