Wearing struggle with wife is visible (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
in view
'visible' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'wearing struggle with wife' is the wordplay.
'wearing' becomes 'in' (as in being 'in' certain clothes).
'struggle' becomes 'vie' (to vie is to struggle or contend with).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'in'+'vie'+'w'='IN VIEW'
'is' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for in view that I've seen before include "Visible" , "Able to be seen" .)
