Madi Prewett Reflects on Marriage and Personal Growth
Madison Prewett, known to many from Season 24 of The Bachelor, is offering a candid look into her marriage to Grant Troutt. On a recent episode of her podcast Stay True, the 29‑year‑old opened up about embracing what she describes as a “submissive wife” role—something she initially struggled to understand but now considers central to her life and faith.
Finding Meaning in Submission
Prewett explained that the concept of submission in marriage was difficult for her at first. Over time, however, she says the role has brought her fulfillment.
“Now it’s my favorite thing,” she shared. “I love talking about submission.”
Her comments reflect her broader commitment to building a faith‑centered marriage, a theme she frequently discusses with her audience.
A Challenging Engagement
Prewett and Troutt’s engagement lasted just three months, a period she described as emotionally intense. The couple navigated several personal challenges, including the death of Troutt’s grandmother.
Despite the difficulties, Prewett said their excitement to marry never wavered.
“Maybe we were a little bit crazy, but we were just so excited to get married,” she recalled.
Commitment to Purity and Boundaries
Prewett also spoke about her decision to remain abstinent before marriage. Wearing an engagement ring, she said, made the commitment feel even more challenging.
She encouraged other engaged couples to set clear boundaries and seek accountability partners to help maintain their values during that season.
Learning to Communicate
Marriage brought new lessons—particularly around communication and unity. Prewett admitted she often struggled with wanting to be right.
“Fight to unite and not be right,” she said, calling it one of the hardest lessons she had to learn.
Adjusting Expectations and Growing Spiritually
Prewett shared that her expectations of married life didn’t always match reality. She imagined quiet devotional time together each morning, but Troutt preferred to spend his spiritual time alone.
This shift, she said, taught her to seek fulfillment from God rather than relying solely on her husband.
