Question from a stright guy

I've always wondered...I've seen this so many times especially in a guy/guy relationship, when married one calls the other his "husband". How is that determined who is the "husband" and what is the other?? Do you flip a coin or something? How about in a female/female relationship, what is each called? Are the both the "Wife"? Not being critical, just don't know. Can somebody clear this up for me?

They're both guys, so they're both husbands. And a lesbian couple are both wifes when married.

If they decide to call one partner one thing and the other something else, that's their choice and only goes for that particular couple.
