That person who defines a stable order of things is considered the head of the family, solves all problems and also is responsible for quiet existence of the members of household.
Leadership in family
The family is a cell of society in which all members carry out definite purposes by segregation of duties. In family surely someone has to be the main thing to solve any household difficulties. Women on the nature are rather weak beings. They cannot independently cope with some problems. If the woman decided to become a head of the family, thereby she belittles not only a role of the man, but also his self-assessment. Once long ago was it is accepted that the woman has to submit in everything to the man therefore guys at the subconscious level choose that girl who is capable to be obedient and appeasable in the wife.
The man, undoubtedly, has to take the predominating and leading positions in family. The fact is that men have the smallest emotionality therefore they are capable to estimate more soberly developed situation and competently to make decisions on elimination of the arisen difficulties, obstacles and problems. They can provide the members of household financially and also give them moral support.
The woman cannot be a head of the family not only owing to the weakness, but also because it is subject to negative impact of external factors. It cannot ensure safety and in time make the correct decisions in various emergency situations. Other task is assigned to the girl absolutely: she creates comfort and a cosiness in the house, is engaged in education of children, adjusts a microclimate in the relations and gives moral support to the soulmate. If the woman tries to become the family leader, living in marriage with the henpecked, the similar relations are initially doomed. Though any rule, of course, has also the exceptions therefore unambiguously it is impossible to speak about it.
Whether there is an equality in family?
Some people are sure that idyll reigns in their relations because the husband and the wife are equal. Actually, the equality is only illusion. Yes, spouses in common discuss some problems and together make important decisions, however responsibility all the same lies on someone one. Most often occurs so that during family council, the woman states to the husband the point of view, the husband or agrees with it, or disproves it, and finally he, most likely, proves to the spouse the case.
