Male Wives Are Multiplying Around The World

By Gloria Mason


In traditional marriage, the man in known as the husband and the woman is known as the wife. There are certain roles that the husband is expected to do, and there are certain rolls that a wife is supposed to do. Times are certainly changing though and the roles are being exchanged in a lot of marriages. Some men have taken on the role of what is known as male wives as they take care of the roles that normally a woman is expected to do.

There are many traditional people who will always believe that a man should take on the manly roles of a relationship and the woman hers. A man is though to have to make money to take care of the family and the woman is thought to have to take care of the household. Even though these have been the roles for as long as we can remember, there are some major changes going on in some relationships.

Some of this may have to do with women who want to have a career. They may work very hard to get educated and land a job that they have worked many years for. When they reach a certain age, they want to have children, but they cannot imagine letting their career go. If they meet a man that will take on the male wife role and stay home to take care of household chores, they will have found themselves a perfect marriage arrangement.

Some men would actually prefer this role. They may enjoy cooking for their family, cleaning the house and taking care of other household duties. They will have dinner ready for their spouse when they get home from work and will submit to their every need.

The term male wife has taken on a whole new meaning in some parts of the world. In these places, same sex marriage is legal and couples have been given the choice as to what they are to be identified as. They have legal papers that will recognize one of the people of a gay relationship as the wife. For lesbian couples, one of them can be legally classified as the husband.

Although, it may seem a bit confusing to some people, it is really easy to understand. When two men get married, generally, as males, they would be known as husbands. Now, one of them can legally be recognized as the wife of the relationship. For two women who get married, the same rules apply and one of them can legally be known as the husband.

There are some people who get very upset about this and think that it makes things really confusing and complicated for others. Their earnest belief is that only a man should be a husband and only a woman should be a wife. Gay couples could care less what critics think though and are just happy that they have the legal right to call themselves whatever it is that they want.

Although, it may not be accepted by lots of people and may remain controversial in the future, male wives will no doubt multiply in society. Whether it is a same sex couple or straight couple who reverses roles, the role that each person plays in the relationship will be up to the two individuals. If they are both alright with it, they can live a long loving life together and call themselves whatever they please.
