Losing Control Gives Security

Having my big strong man in charge gives me a tremendous sense of security. I have zero control over my life. And I've had to learn to trust that my husband and God will take care of me.

Faith Collages

Once married, he's only supposed to go to … Continue reading As a Wife, It Is Your Responsibility to Sexually Satisfy Your Husband

The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife

Being a traditional wife, or trad wife, can be open a world of creative opportunity. My number one goal is to be a good wife and a good mother, but I also have a creative calling. I'm a poet who dabbles in nonfiction, short horror, and short science fiction. However, though literature was my mind's … Continue reading The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife
