uxorious \uk-SOR-ee-us; ug-ZOR-\, adjective:
Excessively fond of or submissive to a wife.
It is batty to suppose that the most uxorious of husbands will stop his wife's excessive shopping if an excessive shopper she has always been.
- Angela Huth, "All you need is love", Daily Telegraph, April 24, 1998
Flagler seems to have been an uxorious, domestic man, who liked the comfort and companionship of a wife at his side.
