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.
