A self-proclaimed 'traditional housewife' who spends six hours a day cooking and cleaning and celebrates being subservient to her husband says it’s "her choice" and “the way she likes it".<br /><br />Estee Williams, 25, has dubbed herself a 'trad-wife' and spends her days tending to the home while her husband, Conner, 23, an electrician, goes to work as the family bread-winner.<br /><br />But far from resembling The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Estee says she leads a "humble" existence and is "subservient" to her husband but "in a healthy biblical way".<br /><br />While Estee stays at home baking bread, cooking meals from scratch, cleaning, and learning to sew her own clothes, Conner makes a living and goes hunting for food on the weekends.<br /><br />Estee, from Richmond, Virginia, US, said: "The husband is a provider, the protector and supports the family financially, and the woman is the homemaker in my view.”<br /><br />“This is a choice my husband and I made together and I’m very happy with it. It's very fulfilling, and it’s an honour for my husband and I to live this lifestyle.”<br /><br />'Tradwife' is a lifestyle trend which involves women adopting traditional gender roles in their marriage.<br /><br />Beyond the division of gender roles, Estee and her husband’s lifestyle is steeped in tradition.<br /><br />They have "a freezer-full" of meat which her husband hunts with his six guns and a bow and arrow.<br /><br />She wears 1950s-style clothing - choosing to don dresses rather than leggings.<br /><br />She also only watches television on the weekends.<br /><br />Although Estee makes small purchases - such as buying coffee - without asking her husband, she said he has the final say on any big purchases including buying their house.<br /><br />Estee’s Christian faith has inspired her decision to serve her husband, which she described as "an act of honour in the eyes of God".<br /><br />Despite online critics calling Estee "backwards", she believes being a tradwife gets a "bad rep" and said she and Conner are "equally reliant on each other".<br /><br />Estee and Conner met in 2020 and quickly realised they both longed for a traditional relationship.<br /><br />The inspiration for Estee’s lifestyle stems from her faith<br /><br />For Estee, cooking is a big part of fulfilling her responsibility to her husband.<br /><br />The couple also hunt their own food - including deer, doves and rabbits.<br /><br />On top of cooking for her husband, Estee keeps their house looking spick and span and believes in “serving him completely in the home".<br /><br />But despite admitting she is subservient to her husband, she insists he doesn’t treat her “like a slave”.<br /><br />Besides cooking and cleaning, Estee and her husband remain very traditional in most aspects of their lives.<br /><br />Estee said the secret to their relationship is trust.<br /><br />Estee also doesn’t have any issue with women who choose to be financially independent.
