I do nothing and everything at the same time.
I wanted to join in this part of the discussion because of typical cliche men attitudes toward women, and vice versa. It would be unequally yoked, literally with one person doing all the work and the other hardly anything, that is not fair in a partnership (meant to be equal or a team) and common in a lot of 'traditional' marriages sadly.
I think there needs to be a bit of give and take. Or push me pull you. Its hard to live on a single income these days...is not reality. You might as well be a solo parent if that's your attitude. And a lot of parents are, they just live separate lives even under one roof, cos one person is away doing work, earning bread, and the other waiting around and doing all the housework, unless there is some kind of understanding I think...
Women(wives, mothers) get tired of children around ALL the time, and Men(husbands, fathers) can get sick of work politics.
Why don't people understand this? Not everyone is middle-class earning a lot of money, and we can just see our parents trying to cope with a life like this. It rarely works for too long, because children eventually grow up and leave home, We can lose our jobs/livelihood when the economy tanks. People can get sick, become disabled, both parents and offspring.
A lot of young idealistic people live in a fantasy world I think and rarely think about the consequences of those sorts of marriages. The whole tradwife thing is a sham.
It works for men, but I say as woman..NO. It is unhealthy to be dependent on man as a financial plan all the time. I've seen it in 'Christian' marriages and it does not work. Couples can pretend it works, but deep down inside the wife knows it doesn't - the husband can leave at anytime, the wife cannot. Especially if husband is unbeliever and just wants a 'traditional marriage' rather than an actual Christ centred one. It is open to abuse.
And to stay faithful may require a certain price tag. But don't 'traditonal' couples vow for 'richer and for poorer' 'in sickness and in health'? Or isn't that done anymore.
