Normalize liking your husband,” reads a T-shirt sold by Savanna Stone, a 21-year-old self-proclaimed marriage expert who has been selling content preaching marital submission with the backing of shady far-right funders. At first blush, that may seem like a trifling concept. But, as Stone makes clear in her video content, her definition of liking or even loving a husband is both laborious and ascetic to an extreme.

“Submission isn’t earned, it is given through the covenant of marriage,” Stone argued in one video. If a husband makes bad decisions, she said, it’s his wife’s fault because she isn’t submitting enough to give him the “confidence” to “take on the masculine role.” At her speech at the 2026 Turning Point USA Women’s Leadership Conference, Stone encouraged women to marry young, as she did at 18. If they don’t, the risk is that they will “build their own life,” which she defined as “the death of marriage” because “two separate lives do not easily merge.”

Id argue no 21 year old can be an expert on marriage, because they were either a child bride or just flat out not been married long enough to understand what it's like...

Like, they're not "tradwives" they're trophy wives. Ones that don't understand their husbands will just get a new wife when they age and realize how shitty their lives are.

These women are literally brainwashing their husbands next wives so they can be replaced.

There's a reason you don't see 45 year old tradwives.

Yeah the 45-year-old women who are happy with their husbands are probably living in a shed in the forest doing witchy things.

Or maybe that's just us...

I'd also argue 21 year olds are dumb as shit, evidence, I was 21 once and definitely was dumb as shit

I mean me too, but I refuse to acknowledge that until it's been 5 years...

semi professional grifter, not martial expert...at 21. The truth would be nice

This is an evergreen subject; even outside a strictly christian conservative context, women are the ones that are supposed to fix relationships and make things work and gaslight themselves into falling back in love with their disinterested husbands.

My heart breaks for all of the young women that will be indoctrinated by this bullshit, only to be abused until it's too late.
