The Increasing Numbers Of Male Wives

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.

In the industrial sense, more and more women are being given the control of positions that in the past were deemed to be for males. This has made them mature enough to take care of their personal relationships in as a better way than they did, and they are taking control. The professional field is fast transcripting this change to their personal lives by giving them more confidence and power.

These empowered women who are having great authority become somehow a threat to the mens authority in the home setting. If they are not at a position to separate their work powers with the family responsibilities, the men are forced to take up their roles. These men will stay at home, do the washing, feed the children and cook for the family.

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.

For some, they say love is the reason they give control to their ladies. Such husbands are so ready to leave every decision to be made by their loved ones for the sake of happiness in that house. They will even go ahead to do the household chores that the women used to do.

This effect is so much that a male wife might start wearing women clothes while at home. Many may be quick to say they are gay, but it does not have to be so. To add on this, some even put on makeup. All they need is just a feel of being a woman and it should be understood so.

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.
