>“Responsibilities as a wife”—sorry, what are these supposed to be?

Figure that out and you'll get a committed partner for life. ;)

But to start, a wife is often the sole emotional support network that a man has, and in a healthy relationship his sole source of sex.

I know what it’s like to be in a long-term relationship that is effectively a marriage already, and while a good partner (looking past the gender issue with the language now) does take the effort to provide emotional support and even sex, I don’t think that it’s mature nor healthy to call such choices “responsibilities”, because responsibilities are things that people have the obligation to do regardless of their emotional and mental well-being.
