Since everything that exists has a position to play, Do Men and Women have specific roles to play in a relationship? Society may say, or may have said "yes" but I'm talking about naturally. Does society give us those relationship roles/rules or does nature?

If yes, What is a Man's role to his Woman, and what is a Woman's roll to her Man?

    Should be, but its harder with these new women that want to be equal to men and all while still having female privileges of old-fashioned women from back in the day. It doesn't help that so many women listen to single (and oftentimes bitter) women's advice on relationships and who should be what.

    I like the way you put that. We're responsible of the same things just on different levels or at different times.

    Do you believe society gave us these rules, or is it innate?

    Right. I wouldn't use the word "serve" I'd say support but I agree

    Exactly

    Its innate, theyre instilled in us but society is responsible the jaded views of what/who "should" do what, it promotes duality instead of singularity...we are one

    Thats the simple answer

    But these 3 things on a mental, physical, spiritual, and psychological level and beyond is all we're here to do

    Man= Provide, protect, lead, give instruction.

    Woman= Nurture, be a co-pilot, keep herself physically attractive, give sex on a consistent basis, no nagging.

    Man - Lead, Love, Protect, Provide, Produce/Create, Encourage, Serve and Stability

    Woman - Love, Support, Protect, Nurture, Serve

    I belive these are innate and we balance each other out. We fit perfectly like a puzzle piece to complete each other, or become one as the Brother said earlier.

    Yeah man I like the way you put that there very simple and to the point. I think the rest in between comes throughout the years as a woman and man get to know each other throughout the years cause i strongly believe you never stop knowing each other. But for the most part that ☝

    I never expect a woman to protect or provide.

    She's supports, serves and loves.

    I protect, provide and ravish her ?

    When she fixes your plate (whether at home or a function), it's an ultimate sign of respect. I'm down to fix her plate too tho.

    I think that roles differ depending on the situation of the relationship. My guy and I are like yen/yang. He has what I was missing and I give him what he needs.

    What I've found is that when you've been single for a while, you're used to doing for yourself and it's hard to let someone in that's willing and able to take the reigns and lighten your load.

    Financially, I've been raised to always make my own and add to the relationship rather than subtract, so I feel like both man and woman should work/provide.

    But I'm pretty traditional as far as roles go. I enjoy maintaining the household. He enjoys being the primary breadwinner. So it works for us.

    That's real. It's all about that balance or yin/yang as you called it. Do you believe these roles are innate or something society has created?

    Innate. I think we all have the ability to learn survival tactics and along the way we discover what we want out of life. Meeting someone that shares those skills and is willing to assist with getting what you want shouldn't be as hard as people make it to be. Societal standards be damned. No one has the rule book to life and even if they think they do, who are they to impose it upon an individual?
