Why do some brothers quit Pioneering shortly after they get married?

by truthseeker in

i've noticed this in our congregation, that a lot of brothers who start of pioneering in their mid to late teens, stop shortly after they get married.

maybe they think it's a sister thing.. also, a lot of the friends in the hall who have been to pioneer school, are no longer pioneers.

this seems to be more for the younger jw's, than the older, retired jw's who have nothing else to do.. has this been your experience?

Because a little bit of reality starts creeping into their lives and they realize that they have to actually go out and make a living to support their households. They realize that Jehovah or his 'appointed servants' cannot and will not support them.

Thank you all for your replies... It's good stuff and it's making me think a lot. My first instinct is to play dumb. But if she starts anything I'll try to use DY's suggestions. I want to avoid a fight...
