What is a trad wife?
A trad wife (short for traditional wife) is a woman who chooses to take on an ultra traditional role in marriage, meaning she makes dinner and looks pretty whilst her husband goes to work.
The trend takes inspiration from the idea of a 1950s housewife.
Many 'trad wives' choose to dress in the style of clothing popular in this period (think floral dresses and frumpy cardigans).
Additionally, the values considered important to trad wives are similar to strict Christian values.
Trad wives believed they were not forced into this way of life, and that it was their purpose to be homemakers.
The trend, which has garnered attention on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, glamorises a time gone by with little acknowledgement of the economic challenges facing families and mothers today.
The clip soon went viral on YouTube with over 19,400 views and 700 likes.
People were quick to take to the comments in support of their relationship.
One person wrote: "They're honestly pretty cute together. as long as it's mutual and they're both happy, good for them."
Another commented: "She's seems really genuine. I pray that it works out for them."
"I see no problem here," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "They are too cute. It doesn't seem like he went into the app desperate. He then saw her and something sparked. They are perfect for each other."
"They're such a cute couple. I wish them a beautiful lasting union,” claimed a fifth.
