The Role of the Mother in the Family

THE ROLE OF THE MOTHER IN THE FAMILY ARRANGEMENT

    From the origin of the first human pair, the role of the wife can never be undermined.the man was lonely and alone, the woman was made for him as a helper and a companion.the holy books have in all respect given women responsibilities, roles that when accomplished will bring fulfillment in a family. life on earth can only be complete when the woman adds
or contribute to the procreation circle.The bible for instance recognizes the woman and accords her importance when it said that a man will leave his father and mother and must stick to his wife and they will become one flesh.



HOW IS THE IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN EMPHASIZED?

The importance of women is emphasized by the enormous duties they owe to their family and the society at large, a woman who fails to fulfill her role in the family will tamper the joy of the society in a number of ways. to buttress this point, The 26th President of the United States,Theodore Roosevelt stated:"It is the tasks connected with the home that are the fundamental tasks of humanity... if the mother does not do her duty, there will either be no next generation, or a next generation that is worse than none at all."

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN BEING A MOTHER?

Being a mother involves more than just becoming pregnant and giving birth to a child, it involves, preparedness, readiness, self-sacrifice, commitment and love. the woman must be prepared for the task of being a wife and a
mother because its demanding and time consuming, but its more fulfilling than any secular work or profession especially when its done right.

She must be ready and expectant when a baby is on the way. the task of raising a baby needs careful thought and readiness.She must be able to offer herself for her family, her children needs her love and attention at all times, and the father too needs care,love and attention, so she should be willing to attend to all these needs when they call.

Commitment is needed because the early stage of catering for a family might seem frustrating especially when things are not clear or going on smoothly in the family. In March 8, 2003, then UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan said: "Study after study has shown that there is no effective development strategy in which women do not play a central role. When women are fully involved, the benefits can be seen immediately: families are healthier and better fed: their income, savings and reinvestment go up." this statement confirms that the society at large can never do without our women, so we appreciate you women and also praise your effort.
