Is Madison Prewett really cool with letting her hubby call all the shots, or is there more to this submission tea than meets the eye?
The former Bachelor contestant, 30, just dropped some MAJOR relationship philosophy on Jennie Allen’s podcast, and hunty, it’s giving very traditional energy. During the Tuesday, June 2 episode, Madi waxed poetic about the art of “submission” in her marriage to Grant Troutt, basically serving us a masterclass in letting your man lead—and she’s not even sorry about it. “I say often, like, when you love God the most, then you can love your spouse the best,” she explained, with all the confidence of someone who’s genuinely vibing with their life choices. Translation? It’s “so easy to follow him because of how he follows” the big guy upstairs.
Now, let’s be real—this is NOT the kind of hot take your girl expected from someone who literally went on national television to find love. But Madi’s leaning all the way into the Christian wife aesthetic, and you know what? She seems genuinely happy about it. She’s basically saying that if your man is following his faith like it’s his job, then submitting to his leadership becomes less about losing your power and more about trusting the vision. Controversial? Maybe. Inspiring to some? Absolutely.
The internet has THOUGHTS, obviously. Some fans are absolutely here for Madi’s transparency and her commitment to her marriage values. Others are side-eyeing the whole submission conversation like it’s 1952. One Twitter user wrote, “I love Madi’s honesty but ma’am, we fought wars for independence,” while another commented, “If he loves God and loves her, that’s beautiful.” See? Polarizing doesn’t even BEGIN to cover it.
Grant Troutt, Madi’s real estate mogul husband, seems to be living his best life as the spiritual leader of their household. The couple married in 2021 after Madi’s dramatic exit from Peter Weber’s Bachelor season, and they’ve been giving “blessed marriage” vibes ever since. Whether you think her approach is empowering or outdated, one thing’s clear: Madi’s not keeping her relationship blueprint a secret anymore.
What do you think? A) Madi’s submission philosophy is relationship goals and we should normalize women supporting their husband’s leadership B) This take is giving major 1950s housewife energy and women deserve equal partnership, period
