My husband does his best to keep stress off me, but it's impossible to move across the world and not feel … Continue reading Soaking in Femininity

I Belong to My Husband

Can I just say that a traditional marriage is immensely sexy and fulfilling? There is something so powerful about a man who takes charge. Submission is spoken about by feminists and egalitarians like it's slavery. It's treated like a dirty word. But both men and women are more likely to be happy and satisfied in … Continue reading I Belong to My Husband

Silence as Feminine Silk

Silence is silky, feminine. A soft voice is an earthly slice of paradise. My husband talks for me a lot. I lean on him heavily in stores and at restaurants, and in a variety of social situations.

A wise man will hear his wife out and … Continue reading Husbands Have Authority Over Their Wives

I’m a Victorian Housewife

Trad wives are often compared to 50s housewives. That somewhat applies to me. I am very traditional. I wear dresses every day. As much as possible I wear jewelry to clean the house as well. I put my family first. I stayed home with my daughter before she started school. I am still at home … Continue reading I’m a Victorian Housewife
