i was talking to a witness who is still in and she said they gave a talk at the hall, about submissive wives and were told that if the husband wants to go somewhere for the holiday and the wife want to go somewhere else she will need to be respectful and do what the husband wants. and she can go on her prefered choice of holiday the following year.....
and she sent me this
The husband is to make all major decisions such as where they will
live,
if they will buy a house, where the children will attend school, etc.
He
will encourage opinions from his wife and work with her with her
choices,
but in the end if any disagreement arises he is to make the decision
based
upon what is best for the whole family.

> He really stressed how a husband needs to know his wife's limatations
if
there is strife in the family his prayers will be hindered she must
serve
Jehovah according to his arrangements not according to her own desires.
Each
family member must show a unselfishness and be a cheerful giver. Acts
20:
35; 1 Peter 3:7.

> The next one was funny and the brother made sure we knew it was
coming
from the outline. A wife can contribute to her husbands ill health if
she
prepares foods that are not good for him. Like if he is over weight or
shouldn't have cakes or such. Lots of laugh's on this one. He then
talked
about preparing the proper foods and such. I must admitt this is the
first
time I heard this one. The speaker had a good laugh over it as well
since he
was rather pudgy himself.
>
> The last point was the importance of communicating. How its so
important
between parents and children as well as husband and wife. Communication
should be personal communication not just general conversatiuon and
certainly not be carried on between commercials on t.v. or a game on
the
radio or any other activity that can divert one's attention.

what next???
