What Is the Husband’s Role In A Marriage? – Did you know that the origin of the word ‘husband’ comes from ‘house band,’ which means a person who holds the house together? The role of the husband in a marriage was to be the protector or guardian of the house.
Contrary to this, a husband today is a 50% partner in a marriage. Earlier, the entire household depended on the man to bring in money and food and protect the wife and children. He was portrayed as the ‘savior,’ and everyone wanted a strong husband. However, in the world we are living in today, the role of a husband, while largely remaining the same, has seen some modifications as women have taken ownership of their share of 50% in the marriage.
