The women’s definitions of a“good husband’’are typified by the following wife’S response: I expect him to be a good provider,and be there when I need him,loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me,expect that I expect him to dominate over me.But in a manner of speaking,when it’S time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything.
