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 is happening nowadays is that the hubbies are assume their partners characters in the union. Similarly, there are women who are becoming like the men in their households. They will leave their husbands to take care of the home as they go looking for the family bread. This change is also manifesting in the career world where the women are gaining power over all the obstacles that men used to put up for them.

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.

Most men are in fact willing to step back and give more control to their wives. This might be an expression of love and to show their partners that they are confident they can make it. It could also be a desire to step back and relax and not always be the one to take care of issues as this is exhausting. Thus, they choose to take a break and stay home.

There are men who have married to ladies who have quite an attitude and officious personality. These types of women will nag and throw turn trams till they have what they want. As a gentleman who does not like fighting back, one may choose to step down and let the wife rule the home.

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.

The men who have a big ego may despise these males for such ways of conducting themselves. Others will see them as not being worthy to be called full men. What they forget is that a man is a man enough if he does what he needs to do to keep his marriage and family happy.
