In a family man is the head and woman is neck? I mean that behind a strongman...

I remember about this saying from our country...they want to say, that even man think that is the head in a family, he can t resist withaut a woman behind him, i mean withaut a "neck" who can support the head..good point really. Sometimes this words from old times are so true, we can learn a lot just when we read it.

You have said a head with no neck is nothing and a neck with no head is nothing so that means neither of them is important, both man and woman are important. In a family there should be a father and a mother besides a family won't be a family without a father and a mother, children are born with their fathers and mothers. A head and neck does have different purposes but they both are essential. A father is the head of the family because he provides and raise the family in every needs and the mother takes care of the house and the children. They both play different roles but they are one

I think that all families are different and although traditionally all families consist of a man and a woman now there are single men and women bringing up children but in a family whihc has both I think that they equally contribute in different ways and provide support for each other so are therefore as important as each other.

Hi, Ice! I'm afraid I think that old saying is far too old. By that, I mean that people are generally more enlightened than that these days, and relationships must be based on equality. None is above another, and non beneath.

God created woman from a man's rib on his side so they could stand together, not one above or below.

both are important but without the neck the head cannot be supported, but the neck cannot be supported without the shoulders and so forth so if the head is the head and the neck is the woman than the shoulders and torso and legs must be the children that bring them all together

My husband and I were talking about this just last night, and we both agreed that we are more important to eachother walking side by side like two oxen pulling a cart, than one of us as head, and the other as neck. We are not body parts, we are two individuals on a team. Our team has no leader. We work together. My husband and I do not believe in different gender roles for men and women. He talked about how in certain places he lived with his ex-wife it was believed that she was helpful to him staying at home supporting him in his life (this was not his belief, rather a cultural belief of the area) but he believed she was of more value working BESIDE him, as opposed to behind him. So it's not a "head and neck" it's two people working side by side for a common goal they both agree on, not the woman working behind the man.

So if the men are the head and the women are the nexk then I guess the woman tells the men which way to look. In my family we are a team, there are things that he does better and things that I do better and we each work with what we are better at. We are both important, but I think I am more important and I figure if you asked him he would say the same thing.

Between the two we can't really choose who is more important. For me the mother and father are both important because they are both needed to raise a good family. It's the mother's duty to take care of the children and the father's duty to raise money to feed the entire family.

well as you said head with no neck or neck with no head nothing.That means a family needs both man and woman and they are both important.thats why we were created,to complete each other.thats also why we need each other to procreate no matter which process you choose.
