That's an interesting question! I think responsible men should be caring and thoughtful towards their wives/children. They should try to provide a stable home in terms of income, but I believe women should contribute to this, too (working outside the home whenever possible in order to show children, girls in particular, that a woman doesn't have to stay at home).
Married men should be mature enough to not spend too much time with the "guys," concentrating more on their families instead. This doesn't mean don't go out and have fun with male friends, just that there should be a balance between that and family time.
I believe that men need to provide positive role models for their children and demonstrate to their sons that it's ok to show emotions (what some call their "feminine side")...that it's not a sign of weakness.
Not trying to be the boss, but allowing that the wife has a right to exercise her authority and place as co-head of household. I don't believe in "lording it" over one's family.
I believe men need to learn to listen, and actually "hear" what is being said to them. Some men talk too much and aren't used to listening. I don't want my husband to "fix" problems for me, just hear me out when I need to talk about them.
Shows of physical affection...hugs, kisses...in front of the kids is also a good habit to have.

I think that the balance is shifting toward making men and women more equal in their responsibilities to their families. Most often, men are not the only breadwinner in the house any longer; their role has changed from sole income-earner to equal contributer. That goes for not just money, but child-rearing, housekeeping duties, and cooking. My father and mother both worked, and while they were raising me it seemed to me as though they split the work 50/50. My mom made sure the bills got paid, my dad made most major purchases. Whoever was the first home cooked dinner; whoever didn't cook cleaned up the kitchen.
