Feeding the wife and family has been a major role of every husband and father since the beginning and it's a role every responsible man should play even though civilization has been twisting most of this things from different angles.
In Africa it is a taboo for the wife to feed the husband and family even though some situations might call for that. And so many great men, philanthropist, monks and religious leaders have spoken against it.
"Its a man's responsibility to feed the wife coz the last tym a woman fed the man we all got chased out of the garden of Eden"
Robert Mugabe
Mugabe's quote might sound funny like most of his various quotes but there is sense in it. below are 5 major reasons why it's a man's responsibilities to feed his family
NO 1. IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN EVERY MAN'S LIFE
Taking care of the wife and family is the most important thing in every husbands life at that stage in life. The Bible, Quran and other religious books have it written that the role of a husband in the family is that of a leader and leading is the most important thing in every leaders life. Once that importance is lost, the reason of existence is beaten and that being becomes irrelevant to his world beginning from his family as it has been said "charity begins at home" the wife is every man's home.
"A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father."
Frank Abagnale
NO 2. IT MAKES THE MAN RELIABLE AND INCREASES HIS RESPECT
Reliability is a virtue that is earned and it is the doings of a man that makes him reliable. Food is one of the basic needs of humans and people tend to love and respect the provider of food, like the Employee respect the Employer and the baby respects and loves his or her mother it is that principle that guides the Man also when it come's to wife and family matters. Every man is a provider in his family
"Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever”
Bible (1 Timothy 5:8)
NO 3. IT MAKES THE WIVES AND KIDS FEEL SAFE AROUND THE MAN
Provision entails care and care covers protection. When a man provides food for his family, that shows that he cares, and people would do almost everything to protect those they love and care for. That is the mentality that runs in the mind of the wife and child and that makes them to feel safe and protected whenever the Man is around and even when he is not at home, his presence covers.
"The builder of a house would never watch it get destroyed. He maintains and protects it from the unpleasant "
Daveed Aaron
NO 4. HE BECOMES A COMPANION
When a man provides for his wife and family, the bond between them becomes closer and they become companions. They share both pains and gains together, secrets are hardly found in such a family thereby keeping grudge and bitterness away. Such a family is what every man dreams of and wants to return home to everyday.
"Companionship is the ultimate in every relationship"
Daveed Aaron
NO 5. IT BRINGS ABOUT PEACE OF MIND AND SUCCESS
Home is where every man returns to after a hard day work, it's where he leaves and should rest but this becomes the opposite when the man fails in his responsibilities of provision. Children would begin to cry and wives nag. Home would become hell for the man because there would be fights in and out. But once he keeps to his role and provides for the family, there would always be peace and calmness in his life and family and that brings about success.
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
