ROOKE: There’s A Good Reason Trad Wives Can’t Stop Telling You About Their Sex Lives

People on the internet are getting irrationally angry at married women for talking about their romantic lives in a positive light, and it needs to stop.

Our society is trapped in an anti-marriage/anti-life doom spiral, and these women are merely trying to show the next generation there is another way. Instead of dunking on trad(itional) wives for outing their private lives, start asking what type of culture creates an environment in which they feel they have to defend marital sex openly.

Traditionally, happily married women would have been unwilling to speak publicly about the intimate moments they shared with their husbands. It would have been considered too low-brow for them to discuss with anyone except their spouse. It’s not likely these wives would have even left their private bubble if it wasn’t for society’s lack of stewardship forcing them to dispel the unfavorable image marriage gets. We stopped educating the new generations about faith, love and legacy and allowed entertainment to become how men and women learned about relationships.

Unhappy people were given the power to control our viewpoint on this subject, leading to the official narrative about marital sex being that it’s a huge letdown compared to the far more pleasurable act of premarital sex. Generations of men and women are taught single sex is carefree and wonderful, and marriage ruins this for both men and women. (ROOKE: America’s Kids Are Struggling. It’s Time To Start Talking About Their Parents)

For men, as soon as the wedding is over, his wife’s passion dwindles into prudishnesses, and they are forced to endure years of sexual frustration. Similarly, women are doomed to a life of endless letdowns because all husbands are selfish lovers. This rhetoric is reinforced whenever a celebrity couple refuses to get married because it would “ruin the passion.”

Now, instead of following the advice of women who lived in devoted marital bliss for decades, society’s natural reaction is to recoil and tell them they are weird. The comment section discourse under these women’s pro-marriage posts quickly descended into keyboard warriors accusing them of being into sexual kinks that involved opening up their relationships with their husbands to strangers. It’s easier for people to yell at them for publicly defending the beauty of their romantic relationship than to believe that there are marriages full of love and passion.

It is true that marriage can and is challenging. We used to understand that successful marriages take hard work to achieve but bring infinite meaning and purpose. Without trad wives leading the discussion on this topic, the next generation will continue to believe marriage is a wasteland that should be avoided.

We need more happy wives talking about their fulfilling marriages — explaining to men and women it doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to hate your spouse. Husbands and wives can continue to have fun long after the vows are finalized. In fact, the more time you spend with your spouse, the more you’ll crave each other and long for the moments you can be close.

These women are doing an excellent service. Everything in our society makes us believe marriage is where sex goes to die. They are bravely pushing back.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
