A Renowned Matchmaker On Infidelity & What His Clients Won’t Tolerate

4/1/2025
Some still believe that a wife’s role is to stay at home with her children, tend to her family, and be devoted to her husband. In Western culture these ideas are currently part of the Trad Wife movement. Trad stands for traditional wife. On this episode I welcome international matchmaker Florent Raimy, Founder of Edwige International. Florent’s matchmaking clients are wealthy men from all over the world who are seeking a traditional wife. So….how many of you are scratching your heads right now in disbelief that the traditional wife role still exists? And how many of you are thinking “finally- we’re going back to the way things should be.” Also, is this “one stays at home and the other one works” paradigm relevant to same-sex couples? Let’s hear what my guest has to say. Let’s find out what high net worth men from all over the world are looking for in a wife. Not all wealthy men, but some-and most definitely Edwige International clients. Is the Trad Wife a walk back into the fifties or a strut into the future?
