Many Men Welcome The Role Of Being Male Wives In Their Marriage

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.

Women in the past were often not provided with the opportunity to have a successful career. These days, many women have joined the work force and hold very important positions at major companies. Even though they would love to have children, they do not want to lose their career that they have worked so hard for. Many of them end up happy when they find a man who does not mind being a male wife.

There are some men who like taking care of the household and letting their spouse work. They will take care of the kids, cook for the household, clean up the house and do other wifely duties. Also, they will make sure to take care of their spouses needs when they get home from work.

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.

To many people, all of this can be a little confusing, but when a same sex marriage is done, it is legal for one of the partners to take on the title that people of their sex normally do not take. If two gay men get married, it is legal for one of the men to be recognized as the wife in the relationship. The same applies for a lesbian couple, one can legally be known as the husband.

Critics are very upset about it and state that things are getting too complicated. They believe that only a man can be a husband and only a female can be a wife. Same sex couples are happy with it though now that they have the right to legally call themselves whatever they want.

This subject is sure to cause more controversy in years to come. Whether it does or not, there will certainly be male wives multiplying around the world as years go by. Same sex couples feel that as long as they love each other and have the legal rights as others do, they do not care what critics think.
