Women are taught, and naturally inclined, to look to the alpha male in social circles for security for her and any strong healthy babies he may give her. It is in their nature to do so. It is about assurance and risk management, nature's law of attraction and survival of the fittest. It isn't foolproof, but works out statistically over the long run.
For whatever reason, it seems to be attached to entitlement complex for a lot of women. They think it is about catching an alpha, to the victor goes the spoils, never mind trying to figure out how to be an alpha wife. Once he's hooked, it's time to relax. I see a lot of disappointed women when life proves marriage not to be a 'cake walk'.
You have to work at it, keep things balanced and in order in spite of adversity. It is give and take. You have to be there because you are ready and willing and genuinely want to be there building a life together.
Where's the woman who will bail her husband out of a jam, prop him up when he needs it instead of expecting things. Where is that woman who actually cares about her husband's day and wants to keep him strong for her and her children instead of threatening him with divorce when he could use some help? Where is the woman who can handle it when he is away, who is secure in herself and not needy of attention, but rather desiring of it, who can pick up the slack if or when necessary?
What made "Elastigirl" "Mrs. Incredible" wasn't that she took his name and superhero status in their legacy together. It was that she was willing to stretch herself thin and face whatever impossibility in order to save her incredible worthy husband from a bad situation. She was a strong woman who genuinely loved and valued her husband. That was the source of her motivation in her daring rescue of Mr. Incredible.
I knew a woman like that once. She was one hell of a fine catch. They aren't as common as they used to be.
