Books to understand women in healthy relationships in which the man is the protector or decision maker, by the woman’s choice and not because she’s somehow disempowered

I’m trying to get a better sense of the perspective of women who are content/pleased to be taken care of/protected by the men in their lives in a way that means that they step back and let him take care of it instead of taking care of the trouble themself or tackling it together.

Healthy, mentally well adjusted women who have made the deliberate decisions to let their man, or the men in their families, be the decision-makers or protectors. I’m not looking for the extreme end of the spectrum – no recovery from cults or escaping from religious compounds – but normal, healthy, empowered women who see themselves as living their best lives and at the same time will step back and look to their man if trouble arises.

The ideal books will not be an indictment of that way of living, but will help me see the beauty and power and what motivates the women who make that choice.

Fiction or non fiction. No YA or early adult books, or please at least mention that’s what they are if you recommend them.
