Quote: Marriage Responsibilities
In today’s modern Christian church, men are viewed as having all the responsibility and accountability, and are presumed to be neglecting their marital duties if there is unhappiness or dysfunction. Women are almost never told they have marital obligations, and are never exhorted to examine their own roles in marital dysfunction. They are never told what marital obligations they have (regular sexual contact with their husbands, childrearing, caring for a home). There is no instruction from churches to women on how to be wives. Instead, they are told that once they marry, they are the queens of their households, that they can do anything they want, and their husbands are lucky to have their awesomely awesome selves.
