Why God made Men Fathers and Women Mothers

Why God made Men Fathers and Women Mothers

To run life on Earth, the union of a man and woman is of utmost importance. In fact that’s the basis of Creation and perhaps the design of Almighty Creator. That’s why a woman, with her typical feminine softness and kindness, forms an able counterpart to the robust and tough man. They come together through natural attraction to procreate; beget offspring and run the human race on earth. This in a nutshell is the Law of Nature or the Law of God.

But there is a reason why Men and Women are different...and a bigger reason why the perfect partnership between them is crucial to bring up responsible, stable and balanced children.

Man & Woman are different

 According to Almighty’s design women are entrusted with the most crucial role of child bearing. It is the woman who carries the child painstakingly within her womb for 9 months, suffering all the ‘blues’ of conception, until the baby is delivered. 

A man’s role is to impregnate the woman, but she is the one who brings the ‘little one’ in to the world. It was God’s design to make man ‘The father’ of the child and woman ‘The mother’ of the child. He is after all the Creator of both Man and Woman, and is thus aware of the traits and characteristics of each. He knows the differences between man and woman and thus knows perfectly what role suits a man and a woman.

A man has a sort of toughness in him and his role is to fend for the family he has sired. A woman, on the other hand, is well suited for the role of the nurturer, the care giver, the all sacrificing mother because of her inherent natural characteristics.

Women are a sea of patience, love and care; while men tend to be better at organizing, planning and practical thinking. With great patience, women can suffer the pain of labour and give birth to their baby. The moment the foetus gets implanted onto the womb of a woman and she starts expecting motherhood, an umbilical bond of love already develops with her baby and she can go to any length to protect it. It is something that takes roots in the pre-natal stage of the baby and therefore is much more sublime, magnanimous. Once the child starts to grow, it’s the mother that ensures her child is safe and protected, has good moral values and understands emotions and the smaller things in life. 

A father, on the other hand, will love his child just as much. But his key concerns will be to ensure that the child is well provided for financially and intellectually, so that the future of the child is secured. He starts to plan for funds to cater to education, healthcare, and also ensures that he tries to encourage in the child the interest for sports, arts etc.

Therein lies the difference between Man and Woman

Men & Women: Their brains are different and thus they are different!

Men are different from women because their brains are wired differently. This fact may be elucidated better if we refer to what researchers in Harvard found in the year 2001. 

It was found that different parts of the brain were differently sized in males and females. For instance the frontal lobe and limbic cortex of the brain were larger in women than men. The frontal lobe regulates decision-making & problem-solving power while limbic cortex regulates emotions. In men parietal cortex and amygdale are larger than women. Parietal cortex regulates space perception while amygdale regulates social as well as sexual behaviour. 

This study clearly indicates how the neurological differences impact the emotional capabilities of woman and man. Woman patiently and calmly can take decisions and they remain unperturbed when things get rough. They are intensely emotional while men are practical and materialistic. Also a man gets easily inclined to sex while a woman’s emotional need is more than her physical need. With all the womanly emotions, she can aptly nurture her child; fit to be given the respect we reserve only for our Mothers.

Perfect partnership: Key to raising a sensible child

To raise a sensible child, both father and mother should participate jointly. A child needs equal attention from both, according to recent psychological studies. From the mother the child learns all about love, affection, loyalty and family values. From the father the child must learn how to take one’s responsibilities seriously, work hard and build a career, and how to think practically and plan financially. These are just a few examples; there is a lot more that both the father and the mother bring to the table together when it comes to bringing up a stable and responsible child. And a household where this balance is not maintained, where the father or the mother are not equally involved in raising the child, the result is often a disturbed child trying to get attention by any means possible. 

Its only when the man and the woman work together, can they instil in their child all the necessary values that will make him/her a responsible adult and a human being.
