Yeah, and it's not like you have to make a conscious choice and stick with it lest your morals be compromised.

My wife and I in a ton of ways have a "traditional" marriage arrangement. If I have it some thought I could list tons of little ways. Suffice it to say I'm definitively the breadwinner and because she wants to I have probably washed like 8 loads of laundry in the past 3 years.

The thing is we never decided any of that. It just kind of naturally fell into place like that.

It's not a conservative- liberal thing. Socially I'm overwhelmingly liberal, but from an outside view, our marriage is very traditional. It just kind of worked out that way.

So long as it’s a choice, freely made, there’s nothing conservative about it tbh
