Updated February 25, The self-described traditional wife, or tradwife for short, is part of an increasingly visible sect of women embracing — and in some ways, reclaiming — the title of homemaker. Though some may see it as a homage to the s "happy housewife", for many of the women involved in the tradwife movement, the premise is simple: choosing to be a wife, mother and homemaker should not be seen as a sacrifice, nor should taking pride in "keeping the house in order" be misconstrued as subservience. She's not being forced to stay home with the kids; but at the same time she's also not forced to work outside the home. She makes the choice. Though it is hardly a new dynamic, its increasing visibility — born largely out of its social media following in the United States and United Kingdom — has catapulted it into the public consciousness.

First of all, Mormons are people so there is a spectrum of what they actually believe on a personal level, and what beliefs are most important to them. It's like watching somone lose themselves in an abusive relationship. I believe that marriage and kids is not something that can't be handled, I'm sure that once kids arrive somehow both parents will do whatever it takes to be there for the kids, however I'm also sure that you will be the one most likely to carry the weight a bit more and of course feel it too.
