Strong_Shield_27137522In the age of equality, some people are choosing to bring traditionalism back into their relationships - and it seems to be working for them.
With the rise of the 'trad wife' movement, in which women take on a more submissive role in the home and allow their husbands to be the 'Alpha Male', there is a growing interest in doing things the old-fashioned way.
And while it may seem strange to some, there is actually a lot of psychological research that backs up the idea that traditional roles can be beneficial for both genders.
Here are 30 rules to get the most out of a traditional relationship:
1. The husband should always be the 'Alpha Male'.
2. The wife should be submissive and allow her husband to lead.
