Traditionally, men and women have different assigned roles and responsibilities to play and discharge in a family. In modern times, there are certain expectations and ideals of what a husband and wife should do and be responsible for in their marriage. Often, these expectations and ideals are influenced by observing how our parents function in their marriage, and by our cultural, social and racial background. With the rapid changes that we are experiencing in this world, some of these basic roles played by married men and women traditionally have changed. Couples need to clarify what they expect from one another and develop a common style of working together in the marriage.
Through this session, you will:
1) Understand the differences between these roles
2) Discover each other’s expectation and perception towards marriage
3) Learn how to accommodate and accept each other’s ideals and expectations in a marriage
