We talk a lot about what makes a man a bad husband, but I think we need to get a lot more honest about what makes a woman a bad wife too.
Sometimes it’s chronic irresponsibility, poor stewardship of the home, entitlement, selfishness, laziness, or expecting other people to keep compensating for the things she doesn’t handle.
Maybe she’s careless with money. Maybe she doesn’t manage the home well. Maybe she creates chaos, doesn’t follow through, shirks responsibilities, or gets used to the fact that her husband will eventually step in and handle whatever she leaves undone.
And if she’s attractive, affectionate, fun, nurturing in other ways, people can be very tempted to soften all of that.
Once you share a life, your irresponsibility stops being just your problem.
Her lack of discipline becomes his burden. Her poor decisions affect the household. Her unwillingness to carry her share means somebody else has to carry more.
Women can absolutely under-function in marriage too.
We should be willing to say that out loud. Expecting a grown woman to be responsible, useful, considerate and capable of carrying her share of family life shouldn’t be an outrageous standard.

The idea of self-emancipation through knowledge is a powerful enemy of fanaticism; for it makes us try hard to detach ourselves or even to dissociate ourselves from our own ideas (in order to look at them critically) instead of identifying ourselves with them. — Karl Popper
