semi-egalitarian relationship
noun
A modern relationship structure that blends equality with a couple of intentional, classic rules:
1 Finances, housework, and decision-making are shared 50/50.
2 The woman keeps her last name after marriage.
3 The man is expected to be the primary earner from the start and maintain that status throughout the relationship.
4 Any children take the father’s last name.
A progressive, balanced setup with a couple of mutually agreed traditional elements.
