Traditional Roles in Relationships: It's Okay to Be Old Fashioned. Relationships have really changed over the last few decades. In most marriages now, men and women share (ideally) the responsibilities of earning the money, handling the finances, making the decisions and raising the children.
There are five principal relationships to which man has varying responsibility: husband and wife, parent and child, elder and younger siblings or all younger peopleâs relationship to elders, ruler and subject, and friend and friend. Of these, one of the most important relationships is still emphasized today in modern China, Japan, and Korea. The relationship between parent/child is also called filial piety, the idea that children, even adult ones, must respect and obey their parents, and in general, their elders.
