What does Christianity say about family life?

Christians believe that children should be brought up in a loving and supportive family, founded on marriage and that the Church should be a model of family life.

Roles of men and women

Jesus and early Christians lived in a male-dominated society and the Bible reflects this. The belief that men and women should have different roles is still common in some Christian communities today. This is because they believe that God made men and women differently.

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Saviour. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

St Paul's letter to the Ephesians 5:21-22

Other Christians believe that men and women were both made in the image of God and should be treated equally – they should share responsibilities and privileges.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
