The question was why there isn't a word marida for a female husband.

Huy! Entonces marido significa sólo husband, y "wife" significa esposa. Me había enseñado "esposo/esposa" y "marido/marida"

The names for married couples are usually: "Marido y mujer", "esposo y esposa".

Decimos "mujer" en España. A mí no me gusta mucho la palabra "esposa" para "wife" porque "esposa" también significa "handcuffs"

Yo también, pero mujer no es mejor, porque también significa woman.

My husband speaks little Spanish, but one word he does know is mujer – he thinks it hilarious to call me his woman.

He hasn't found out about the wife=esposa=handcuffs connection yet.

What I meant in the earlier post, is why, if marido = husband, doesn't marida= wife?

To me, logically, it should.

Hay otros ejemplos, como:

La vaca= the female cow
El toro= the male cow (the bull)

Pero si dice "logicamente" el nombre para "wife" debe ser "marida", pues estás equivocada porque el idioma no procede de lógico.

Sin embargo, tanto en español es muy lógico, a diferencia de Inglés.
