3 Responsibilities of a Man in a Relationship

January 21st, 2008

A man has roles to play in a relationship, whether in marriage or in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. He is responsible for these 3 roles that a man should understand in order to handle his relationship with others easily (If the woman agrees.. heh).

First Responsibility: A man is a King. King means male sovereign, ruler of a kingdom and authority. His kingdom is the relationship he has with his wife/girlfriend and family. He should rule his kingdom, and not his wife or girlfriend. But don’t jump into a conclusion that being the king of a relationship is easy. Like Peter Parker’s Uncle said “with great power comes with great responsibility. -Ben Parker”. As the king of a relationship, he should be man enough to protect his relationship from anything that could break it, like how an armor protects a soldier.

Second is: A man is a Prophet. Now, you might be wondering what that means. Well, a prophet is a visionary. An authoritative person that divines the future as what Princeton University defined it. As a prophet, he should look forward to his relationship’s future, he has to take care of it, and decide what’s best for his relationship and its future. Have visions, set goals and reach it.

Third is: A man is a Priest. Yes, as a man this is your responsibility. The man should be the most prayerful in the family. As the Old Testament says, the priests are the ones who are in between man and God. They are the intercessors, and as the man of the family or relationship he should act like one. If he has kids, he should teach his kids the right things. Be a model; this molds the future of the children.

Now, I know women will react on this. But I wasn’t saying women aren’t important. I am just saying that as a woman, you should allow your man to be the king. Don’t take away their manhood. This will be my next article soon, when I will get to research more of the women’s role in a relationship.

I’ve got handful of good/bad experiences when it comes to relationships, name it, I’ve experienced it. Heh. I’ve had 4 girlfriends before Tessa. And I think maybe I’ve found the one for me. My girlfriend and I is going strong in our relationship and we have celebrated our 4th year anniversary just this month. We’ve gone lots of challenges in our relationship, and still going strong because we always try to understanding each other. How do you or your man handle your relationship? Share it with us.

    I agree…while the man act as a king, the woman will act as a queen, right?
    a relationship is about being a team…that is what me and my boyfriend are doing since 10 years ago…since we’re still in high school.

    And…hopefully in this august, we’ll get married :)

    I agree. I also think that it’s time some men realised they had a pair of balls and acted like it. There’s nothing worse than a guy ‘trying to be pc’ around women. If guys just behaved like themselves and ignored the social expectation crap they’ve been indoctrinated with – women would melt.

    Be a man – take responsibility.

    My boyfriend(ex) and I completly failed. I really do agree that a man should protetct his relationships, unfortuntelly he never did that, why I feeled like I have to take charge, he put out our relationship to all sort of ex girlfriend or any girls who fancy him, hw love to go out and flirt which is not harmless towards a relationship, and as the rols break our relatinship failed after one year. And also because he is not listening or respecting my oppinons and feelings, I m always sout down or he just put the phone in the bad. I think that was the most horrible relationship I have ever had, and I feel sorry for ever falling in love with him.

    What should a woman do when her man doesn’t assume these roles? Teach him or move on to someone that knows his responsibilities?

    I totally agree with you and it’s no surprise coz I am a man. Being the head of the family, he must be responsible enough to take care of his wife and children. In constant Prayer and Communication, they will have a strong and happy family.
