Scene: A man and his wife talking before they prepare their watchtower study together.
Me: Sweetheart, I love you so much. Let me ask you something though.
Her: Ok sure babe.
Me: Hypothetically say I was an abusive husband....
Her: Your not though.
Me: I know, but just hypothetically if I was an abusive husband and I hit you what would you do?
Her: I would take the kids and leave you.
Me: Understandable, but how would you react if "Elders Wife" came over afterwards, and listened to you describe how I had hit you and how you were crushed about it, and she said- "Wifes-Name". " put some makeup on those bruises. You need to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Who is trying to act like a Christian here, you or your husband? What you need to do is be more submissive, lovable, peaceable, and long suffering." Give him reasons to not hit you. Try not to make any points that will get him angry. It might take 5,10, 15 or 17 years but he will come around and see that you are something special."
Her: That's crazy. I would tell her to leave and then I would leave you. Who would be that stupid to give advice to stay with an abusive husband? There is no excuse to stay with someone who hits you.
Me: I agree, let's start our Watchtower.
