OK all you wives that work outside the home-----you need to quit asap. Why? Because according to the Witchtower, it can and has driven hubby's to suicide:
*** w61 6/1 p. 326 Your Time or Your Money? ***
Not that only husbands err in this respect. Wives also do at times. Thus a certain sophisticated young woman who kept joking that she preferred being an old man’s darling to a young man’s slave married a young man after all. He learned a trade and became very successful in one of the most fashionable sections of a large midwestern city. His wife, however, in spite of his success and his pleas that she stay at home, insisted on going to work; she was determined to contribute her share in her own way. She even kept on doing the wash, although he wanted her to send it to the laundry so she would have more time. Then one day she came home from work to find that he had committed suicide. She had insisted on giving money, which he did not need, and had failed to give what he most needed—her companionship, her time.
An extreme case? True, but the underlying principle holds. Wives working when there is no real need may be one reason why the life span of men is from six to seven years less than for women, and why so many men become heart victims.
As per usual, the give no reference as to where they found this story (probably right next to Puff the Magic Dragon at the library), it gives no names, whether or not the husband had mental or emotional problems to begin with (assuming that he actually existed), or anything else.
This was written in 1961----47 years ago, but have they really changed at all?
