Trad Wives Are Lying To You

from Starter Marriage · host Allison Raskin, John Blakeslee, & Studio71

It may be 2025 but the hottest trend on the internet is women pretending like it’s 1950. Trad Wives, short for “Traditional Wives,” boast millions of followers as they pretend to live the pastoral life of a submissive homemaker. But that image couldn’t be further from the truth. Journalist and novelist Jo Piazza joins the podcast to discuss this phenomenon and why she thinks Harry Burns and Sally Albright from When Harry Met Sally should have never gotten together.   If you would like to submit a “Marriage Moment’ or suggest a future episode topic, email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.  Learn more about the possibilities of modern marriage with a copy of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I DO (I THINK): Conversations About Modern Marriage⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.  Purchase Allison’s new romcom novel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Save The Date.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  If you like the show, telling a friend about it would be helpful!
