Why no such duties have been made yet for husbands?
May be because the slokas in Sanskrit are mainly written by men and as men wrote them only wifing process is defined so well.
Lets see what we get, if same thing is applied on Males:
1) Bhogeshu Raja : Rich
2) Vachaneshu Rama : Honest
3) Chaturasya Krishna : Brilliant
4) Dhairyeshu Karna : Daring
5) Roopecha Indra : Handsome
6) Kaameshu Madana : Romantic
Shatdharmayuktha manadharma Ramana - the dear husband.
A marriage is supposed to be an equal partnership between the Husband and Wife. Having said this I also agree that woman/man should thrive to achieve these 6 fold role to have a happy and successful marriage. I am a firm believer of 'Treat your Husband/Wife exactly the same way you want yourself to be treated'. What you give is what you get in return. Give love, respect and care to your Partner and you are sure to get it back from him/her.

I was reading the above article and was found it worth mentioning...
If I was only considering the above list Rishab kinda fulfilled all the criteria except for the bit about being HONEST... But now that he has newly discovered the virtue of HONESTY... lets just hope he follows the path and becomes an IDEAL HUSBAND!!!!!
