“If you are not ready to be an errand boy, do not get married,” – This was the tweet from an X user, @FaisalokoMori that has turned into a whole debate on social media on today’s husbands.

A lot of husbands on X in response to this post started recounting their experience on running errands for their wives. This was followed with screenshots of chats with the said wives giving them list of things to buy on their way home or from the market.

This was followed with some men explaining how certain things work in their home with their wives and how they allow it happen in order for peace to reign.

As expected, this has sparked a fresh debate on social media with some men saying they can never allow such in their homes. Some used the opportunity to say back in the day it wasn’t so.

One X user, @Neo_Officiall who is not married by the way, was even of the opinion that the modern day married man are now being scared of their wives and being completely subservient to them.

“Almost everything I have seen married men describe about marriage revolves around being scared of their wives and being completely subservient to them. I never see myself in that state. I know myself too well to know that it will not work for me.

This was of course seconded by some men who were of the opinion that they will run their home in a similar way instead of acting like a ‘wimp’, “spineless man’, ‘simp’ or being ‘submissive to their wives’ like these ‘modern day husbands’

But are the so-called modern day husbands being subservient or simps for their wives? Or are things like running errands now a natural aspect of a modern, thriving marriage?

Well, we cannot deny that historically, traditional marriages, like the ones some of our parents had  often rested on rigid gender roles.

In such home, men were seen as breadwinners, while women were homemakers, responsible for household management.

We saw situations where errands and other domestic responsibilities were naturally perceived as the wifes duty. This traditional structure is what some critics reference when they say, wives feared their husbands.

Enter in ‘modern marriages’ 

Today, marriages are now different and this cannot be helped due to the changing social dynamics. We now have homes where dual-income is the norm, with both husband and wife contributing financially and sharing domestic responsibilities.

Running errands is now no longer about who “should” do it but about who can do it. A husband stopping by the market or picking up the kids after work isnt a sign of submission. It is a reflection of teamwork, respect, and mutual support.

It definitely isn’t submission

Running such errands from your wife is definitely not submission like some men are implying. In reality, it is just what a healthy relationship which is based on equality and shared responsibility looks like. Let us not forget that these things you buy is for the benefit of the home you both share.

Its not submission; its love in action. Acts like running errands demonstrate care, respect, and the understanding that small gestures build stronger marriages.

More men should probably embrace this change

Surprisingly, while lots of married men where busy catching fun posting screenshots of these errands they run for their wives, the single men where the ones with the bigger issues. These critics still long for the “old days” where the men only pay bills and are feared by all.

They however fail to see the benefits of these changes in the so-called modern marriages. A marriage where tasks and responsibilities are shared leads to balance, reduces stress, and increases mutual respect.

In this new era, love is no longer defined by who commands and who obeys but by who supports and who uplifts.

Ultimately, a husband running errands isnt about submission. Its about partnership. Its about love expressed in action and the realization that evolving roles dont weaken relationships”they strengthen them.

As times change, so must our understanding of marriage and the dynamics that sustain it. Homes thriving today arent bound by outdated rules but are redefined by modern values of love, respect, and equality.

Whats wrong with a husband picking up some tissues or vegetables or handling a quick errand? The only thing submissive about it is the outdated mindset trying to make it a problem.
