Understand core values of family

FAMILY is the first unit instituted by the creator Himself; we all have heard the story of creation in Sabbath or Sunday school classes.
In creating the first man, the creator designed the husband to oversee the family and the wife to support the husband in looking after the welfare of the family.
He has never designed and intended for the wife to be equal to the husband.
Just as there can never be two chief executive officers in a company or two prime ministers in a government.
This is common sense, you expect frictions and in-fights to happen if you have two bosses in an organisation.
For a family to be stable, loving, healthy and happy, the husband and wife should take their rightful places in a family setting.
It does not need a Christian or educated person to know about this. It has been part of our culture since.
In today’s society, women are given the equal rights as their male counterpart.
The core value that holds and stabilises a family was destroyed by advocating and giving equal rights to women (wives).
Yes women can do anything a man can do but at the end of the day when you go home, wives should respect the husbands.
We can be professionals in our own rights but at home, husbands and wives have different vocations to fulfill that should be done.
In USA, there are 277 divorces in a day, that is 9 divorces in the time it takes for a couple to recite their wedding vows.
In PNG say for instance a school community; there are more single mothers teaching then when you compared to a rural community.
The educated wives tend to use their education (profession) and the law to contest for the single position of the overseer in a family setting.
This gives rise to many social issues existing in families in our communities.
When these issues cannot be resolved, divorce is imminent and so the statistics above.
The real solution is to go back to the roots.
Seek the guidance of the designer on his intention to institute the family at the first place.
Advocate and educate the people about the core values of the family.
Roles and responsibilities of family members should be communicated and upheld in the family. Husbands and wives should know and respect their places in a family.
Only then should we have a strong, healthy and happy family that is free of violence and other social issues.
