The VAST majority of marriages I see in our congregations are, at least, REASONABLY happy
As a long time elder often called upon to referee marital problems (at the request of the couples), I can only say this to you: You have no freakin' idea what you are talking about.
Way to go, Justita. What a GREAT comment!
One unmarried invalid pioneer sister commented how "Jehovah's headship provisions give us freedoms in marriage."
Yes, the freedom to wear whatever frumpy ankle-length dress you want! The freedom to never teach the congregation because you don't have a penis! The freedom to wear your hair in a way that doesn't offend your husband!
Praise JAH for your FREEDOMS!!
MAD,
Your comment to Blondie was obnoxious.
You made a comment in a different topic which certainly applies here. Too bad you don't see the "foolishness rearing it's ugly head with your brotherhood" regarding their view of women.
Most of you know I'm a JW; I irritate you enough defending the Truth as I know it- yet I ADMIT a lot of the foolishness that sometimes rears its ugly head with my brotherhood

When I used to give Public Talks on a Sunday, beleiving I had healing oil to dispense from the outline, I would look out at the crowd and see people on their 2nd, and 3rd marriages,
marrriages that survived adultery, abuse, cruelty, etc.... Although I had never attended other churches, I knew many "worldly" people with happy marriages. How
are the witnesses better off with the FDS in their marriages? It seems to me the religion is a huge source of discord in marriage since it gives both genders
unrealistic perpectives of their roles and adds elements of disappointment and shame that are needless in a healthy relationship.
