** This trope wasn't quite as firmly established at the beginning of the series, leading to a couple of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness moments. The biggest one is episode 1.4, "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E4TheresNoDisgraceLikeHome There's No Disgrace Like Home]]", where it's ''Marge'' who gets drunk at a company picnic and embarrasses everyone, and Homer who insists on taking the whole family to group therapy.

SubTrope of MenAreChildish, the difference being that those two tropes extend to women and men in general, while the Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife trope is exclusive to spouse relationships. Also a SubTrope of MenAreTough ("tough" here meaning "stubborn" and "undomesticated"), and also WomenAreDelicate ("delicate" here meaning "thoughtful" and "domestic"). Related to ParentingTheHusband, BumblingDad, {{Manchild}}, and LazyHusband. May also overlap with UglyGuyHotWife if their contrasting maturity levels are portrayed through contrasting levels of beauty.

See also WomenAreWiser, or FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling for the sibling version of this trope. In several instances, [[OppositesAttract these two work well together because of how different they are]].
