Role of Spouse in Life
by Love has become the most important role of a spouse, apart from his/her other roles in procreation, sexual pleasures, care and share in a family unit.
Procreation and Sexual Pleasure
Life on Earth must continue – not through preservation of existing but through new procreation – as is the natural process. For this, a male and a compatible female must get into a spouse relationship. Thus, a spouse is a natural necessity for every person. For the same reason, neither a man nor a woman is complete by him/herself but are complementary to each other. Thus, aiding in procreation is the first and the foremost role of a spouse.
Humans found that sexual mating is not only procreative but a provider of great enjoyment to both the partners. Since this enjoyment is a matter of greatest privacy for saving children from getting involved in this before maturity. For both these reasons and introducing sexual and procreative discipline in the society, sexual mating is generally restricted between two spouses only. This makes the second role of a spouse.
Care and Share
With the evolution of human civilization over a few thousand years, work distribution with sharing of each other’s produces among human beings became essential. In this process, even roles of men and women also got defined with the man as bread-earner and woman as caretaker of the home consisting of the family members. This mutual dependence made each of them indispensable for the family unit. The children procreated by them together too got adequate protection, care, guidance and inspiration to become adults in the near future.
In so-called advanced societies, this institution of home is disintegrating for the women asking for freedom from the bandages of the family, resulting into more of single mothers and almost-orphaned children. The once civilized humanity seems to be moving in reverse gear. Thus, contribution towards making a home is the third role of a spouse.
Emotional Satiation
With the advent of the home institution, the permanent togetherness between a man and woman developed an emotional bond between them and they named it love. Thus, love came to being the fourth role of a spouse in human life. Began as an intuition in humanity, over the historical period, love has become an instinct just like survival, procreation, curiosity, etc. and now we all need love, look for it and find it in our respective spouses naturally. Love has become so predominant in human society that if a spouse fails to provide love, he/she gets rejected and debarred from playing any of the above-said roles. Thus, love is the most essential role of a spouse.

I agree that love is the most ingredient in a marriage, although it hasn’t always been so. I do think women were short changed in the old society. but it might not be so, they were more secure with their spouses.

A woman who knows her role in a relationship, acts not only in love but in support as a helpmate of her spouse. Her womb becomes not just the birthing place of children but of dreams and hope. Now whether she gets that in return is another thing altogether and truly dependent on who her spouse is as a person.

Thanks my dear deeda for your very considered opinion. Woman is the key to a relationship and she needs a commitment from the other side.
