What's with the attack (counsel) on husbands with no corresponding article for wives on the Jan 2025 W that is being studied today?
Is there a point to that?

I guess Watchtower has finally decided to address the spousal abuse problem among JWs.

“I guess Watchtower has finally decided to address the spousal abuse problem among JWs.”
That’s a joke, right? 🤨

More like wishful thinking.

Of Course they are!
Once you're married, you're stuck with whoever you choose!
Choose wisely or don't choose at all.
Remember the world today is not like the world 20 years ago.

They mentioned men watching pornography, but remember. The wives need to do their part in keeping in shape and showing it.

There is a “bigger play” at work here.
There was a quiet little announcement a few months ago that sexual practices shouldnt be discussed, a wink/nod to anal and oral sex being sort of kinda ok now (again)
its followed up by a memo to elders (shared on other threads here i see) about elders myob’ing on sex issues
the article from this weekend, after a quick skim, was designed to negate those two ‘policies’ with weasel language about respecting you wife and not demeaning her sexually etc etc.
net net, “official” policy is that any sex is good sex, they stay out of it, should anyone ask. Unofficially, but what will be referenced by all elders, is the article from this past weekend where they will refer to demeaning sex and tie that to oral and anal.
TLDR: This all PR, nothing has changed. Blow jobs are still bad.

There's no corresponding article for women because the WTS considers the man the head of the family and the woman should know her place. In their eyes, her role is simple and easy to remember: your husband is the boss.
