Communication is a very important thing in a marriage relationship. Something that we talked about in class this week that stuck out to me was communicating in our different roles and what an impact on the marriage that can have. In our society we have a list of roles that are typical for the husband and another list of roles that are typical for the wife. I think that communicating about these roles and learning to do what are typical the "opposite genders" roles will improve our relationship and help us to grow closer together as husband and wife. Think of the example of making dinner which is typically seen as the wife's task. If the husband were to take an interest and help the wife with this role and learn how to cook different meals so that they can do it together the impact on this couple will be a good one with positive results. In The Family: A Proclamation to the World is talks about what typical roles the husband and wife should posses in a family, however it says something very important at the end of this paragraph, it says: "In these sacred responsibilities fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners." I think this is important and valuable in using as a template for our families.
