Roles in the family

 Have you noticed there are roles inside a family? It does not matter the family you will always find something in common. And no, I do not mean the roles like every family has parents or children. I mean roles like being a peacemaker, or the clown of the family, maybe even the trouble maker and the listener. Things like that are necessary for a family and will present in some way. But why does that happen? I think is interesting that families are unique but at the same time very similar. they will all have a different experience but you could easily group those things for being common in families. Some of those are BBQ or fights, movie nights, or wrestling in the living room. Things like that are an essential part of the families.  Let's discuss why.

There are two roles that I think are essential among children. The first one is the peacemaker. This one is especially important when the family has more than one child. because even though siblings love each other, there might be some rivalry for certain things like toys, attention, or food. And that is normal, but they're usually is a child that uses more his or her right and left side of the brain to solve problems. And I mention the brain because they get to use more logic, creativity, emotions, and things like that, which are attached to what side of the brain is used more. They help the parents to achieve more peace in the home and help to solve problems and keep the peace at home. This is extremely important because they will help and develop themselves the ability to work through problems in life. The second role is to be a clown/ tension reliever. this is very important because if there is something in abundance in a home is stress and tension. because everybody has goals, desires, and priorities of their own. Due to that fact you end up being in issues with someone else if they get in your way or somehow make things difficult. There is when the clown can release some tension in the family with a joke or two.

The interesting thing is that parents will have to be many roles. They will have to the peacemakers and the clown several times. even though parents can learn and adopt many of those roles, they have their own two main roles. There are several factors why they have their specific roles in the family and even though they are good at something that does not mean they can not be what the spouse is. the roles are depending on some basic features that men and women have had since the begging. The men are there to help provide and satisfy the needs of life, to protect and keep their children and wife alive, and to advise. The women's role is to be the heart of the family as she nurtures her children, helping them develop, and guidance. 

As you see those roles are not because they are male or females, but because that is a divided design that God has given. They are more than capable to do a great job in the other spouse role. But everyone has their responsibilities. And many the times the roles are shared most of the time. There is a third role that is vital in a family and is put on the shoulders of both, dad and mom. the third role is to be a servant. Not a slave of the family, but be of service of whatever the other one needs help with. If the dad needs help providing, the mom will rescue. If the mom needs help correcting someone's behavior, the dad will rescue. they must have that role to succeed.
