Traditionalism - Tumblr Posts
the idea of baking for my man every day sounds so sweet and heavenly ♡
Social traditions, Burke pointed out, are forms of knowledge. They contain the residues of many trials and errors, and the inherited solutions to problems that we all encounter... Social traditions exist because they enable a society to reproduce itself. Destroy them heedlessly and you remove the guarantee offered by one generation to the next. In discussing tradition, we are not discussing arbitrary rules and conventions. We are discussing *answers* that have been discovered to enduring *questions*. These answers are tacit, shared, embodied in social practices and inarticulate expectations. Those who adopt them are not necessarily able to explain them
Roger Scruton (1949-2020) English Conservative philosopher
What’s the best thing about having a trad wife? Coming from a woman who doesn’t get the appeal… sell it to me 🫣
Ooh, I can rant about this for a while! :D
Traditional relationships are firstly founded on stability and commitment. They're not something temporary, they're not something that can be easily thrown away on a whim. This makes it a lot easier to build up a strong, lasting relationship and a good environment to raise children in.
I also think such a relationship is the more natural state of things that we are better suited for. Two people with different skill sets and abilities completing each other instead of competing with each other. Man and woman working together, in their own way, for the betterment of themselves, the other, and their children.
As for specifically having a tradwife from my perspective, it goes thus:
I get to be a protector and a provider. This is not a role that's just given, one has to earn it. And when someday I'm strong enough to be all those things and earn a woman's trust so she may marry me, and submit to me, well... that'd be simply wonderful! I'd feel like I've achieved something great! It's caveman brain - I bring food, shelter, security, my woman brings warmth, cooked food, bears children, makes the house a home, etc.
(For the submission thing, I'd like to briefly say that I think both parties need to submit to the other in their own way for a relationship to be successful. In the interest of this not being a novel, I'll leave it for another time.)
The other big thing is children. I want a lot of children one day, and the logistics of having that and both parents working is not good, to say the least. Especially when you want to raise them well. So, a wife at home to be with them when I'm out is perfect! Of course, the ideal would be both of us being at home, but that's a little difficult to achieve.
The home itself would be better run when there's someone there at the regular. It's not going to be just the place we all gather at the end of the day to sleep in, but it'll be a proper home.
To summarise: protecting, providing, being strong for someone is one of my primary love languages. I think traditional relationships last better, and that they make for a better environment to raise children in.
To explicitly sell it to you - if you find yourself a proper man for the job and he wifes you up, you'll be taken care of, loved, cherished, and appreciated. You'll of course need to give back all those things, that's love. Just because he's the employed one doesn't mean you're not working. But you'll be more fulfilled since you're not working for some corporate overlord who couldn't give half a stomped shit about you - all your efforts will be in service to people you love and care about, your family.
I can write three times as much about all this, but I think this is enough for now, it got pretty long as it is 😅
There’s something incredibly calming and lovely about when someone, particularly an older gentleman, sweetly adds “Miss” before my name. It feels so elegant and charming.
When he says things like, “Here you go, Miss Juliet,” or “Hello, little Miss Juliet,” it just warms my heart.
I’m completely in love with this little gesture.
