As a male in the reverse situation, I will add the following.
WTS creates dysfunctional, loveless marriages.
You are not allowed to openly talk privately with your fiance(e).
You are young, and your only objectives and goals in life are to serve and please Jehovah (aka WTS.)
Men are told that they are superior - women are told that their role is to please the husband.
As to how as many marriages survive that do survive is an astonishing situation.
When a married couple finally realize that this will never work, then the elders perform a simple analysis: has one spouse been "weak" over the last period of time?
Then that spouse is at fault.
Not complicated.
