We don’t know what healthy male bonding dynamics are like, because the chain was broken 50 years prior and never reforged. All we have are inferences and assumptions about how things were in the olden days, but we have never seen them modeled ourselves.
What you CAN see is that guys are the ones who get wrapped up into their own projects and issues to the detriment of the community around them. They’ll think nothing of littering the front yard with the hulks of half a dozen “classic” cars because a driven man is a world in his own mind, only the conscientious concern of his wife snaps him out of the fugue when she says the rest of the neighborhood doesn’t want to open the blinds to see a junkyard every morning.
That at least is the tiniest microcosm of the dynamic I can think of, and the interplay between man and wife let you both maximize the strengths of both roles. You apply your talents and override her where appropriate, and she makes sure you have the votes to prevent the city from adding high-density housing in the vacant plot down the lane.
