Male Submissive Vow of Obedience

In the distant past, a woman's marriage vows often included a Vow of Obedience. Today, women mostly reject this vow and consider it obsolete. Perhaps in this age of increasingly powerful women and often passive men, the vow should be taken by the husband. Could a male be effective and happy in the submissive role of a wife's wife?
