The High Presence Of Male Wives In Our Society

By Gwen Lowe


Reversal of gender roles in todays world is one of the most common phenomena in the society. Although it raises eyebrows, the occurrence of male wives and female husbands is more prevalent in the society than anyone would care to accept. This is a case where the husband takes the roles of the wife in a marriage while the wife takes all the roles of the husband including being the sole bread winner.

What this means is that the husbands are taking up their partners roles in the marriage. There are also wives who are for this, and they assume the roles of their husbands as well especially by being the bread winner. Even at workplaces, more women are rising to power now more than before. These women are being empowered, and they fail to separate their authority at work from their home lives.

These wives phenomenon is taking place in the homes of these empowered women whom apparently can do all a man can do and then some. They can earn a living to support them both and the children and so the husband is forced to rake the role of the wife in the house. This they do in order to live harmoniously and also to make sure the kids are cared for.

There are special men who will do this only to show their love to their partners. This cannot be regarded as some form of being controlled but an awesome way of expressing love. It is also another way of breaking from the crazy busy work life and just relaxing at home.

Women who have a dominant personality will also most likely find themselves in this kind of situation. This is because they will argue until they get what they want and so for the relationship to work, the man steps down and let them do whatever they want. They may be confused by this turn of events, but the truth is they have created it themselves.

It is important to understand that love drives this kind of change in families. You find that the menfolk are so willing to abandon their control so as to support their wives whom they love. They will cook, clean and even look after the kids as their wives go to attend to their careers.

These men will go as far as dressing as women in the home setting and even wearing makeup. It is not abnormal, and these men should not be deemed as gay because they are not necessarily so. They just love playing the role of the wife in a marriage, and this should be understandable. This is why they have their own support network in order to share experiences.

These males who are behaving like women can be looked down upon by fellow men and term them as a disgrace to the male fraternity. The opposite could be the plain truth that they just are men enough to take care of their wives. It is never the ego that shows how a man is good enough, but how much he can go out of his way to be there for his family.
