What kind of wife will you be?

 BEING A WIFE IS NO DIFFERENT TO BEING A HUSBAND' 

HANNAH EBELTHITE, 39, MARRIED WESLEY DOYLE, 47, IN OCTOBER 2008.

I don't think that I would have married Wesley if he had expected me to fulfil certain gender-based wife? duties. And when I gave

birth to our twins, Sam and heo (now six), that was borne out. It didn't occur to us to fall into traditional roles; we shared the child

care and bread-winning from the very start. hat said, being a wife is very distinct from being a girlfriend. When we got engaged,

Wesley asked me what difference I thought being married would make.I said I felt it was the difference between definitely?and maybe?

We’re each other and next of kin now. I remember renewing my passport and changing the emergency contact from my mum to my

husband. hat felt like a very big deal.?

CHARLOTTE MACNEIL, 40, MARRIED KEVIN, 43, IN AUGUST 2011.

Since I became Kevin and wife, with a dream of building a family with him, I lost two pregnancies, the second at 14 weeks. When we

got home from the hospital, it was then I truly realised what being a wife meant. Kevin had made me my favourite meal and he held me

for ages - he didn’t need to say anything. he commitment we made when we became husband and wife meant it was going to be OK. I

haven't managed to conceive again, and am having to face the fact that, at the age of 40, it may now be too late. For me, being a wife is

about accepting that you may not have all the happiness that you imagine the future holds - but instead knowing your relationship is strong

enough to cope with anything.
