4 Family Building Models: How to Choose the Ideal One

1. Man leads, Woman follows. This is the natural, obvious, normal structure of relationships. The woman is married — "BEHIND THE MAN". The man is the "locomotive", the woman is the "carriage". In this relationship model, all needs and roles for both men and women are best fulfilled. 2. Woman leads, Man follows. This model results in neither the man nor the woman being able to fulfill their natural roles and needs. 3. Both are leading. It is a misconception to think that the result will be a twice as powerful "train". In practice, everything turns out quite chaotic — two locomotives pulling in different directions. This model can transition into models 1 or 2. 4. Both follow. These are relationships with undeveloped responsibility. It is rare for models 2, 3, or 4 to transition into model 1. Therefore, the most optimal path is to immediately organize the family according to model 1.
