  Happy JW Marriages the Impossible Dream?

  while it is not impossible to have a happy marriage in the jw religion for many it is hard, for some it is very hard to maintain happiness in their marriage.

  the watchtower raises the bar so very high in every aspect of life, marriage included.

  the watchtower literature encourages a jw married couple to be practically perfect, or at least that is the goal set before them.

  Balsam thank you so much for your story. I am sorry that you let the JW's convince you into staying into a situation that brought you so much pain and unhappiness and I am glad that you have found love. It sounds like you where never in love with your first husband to begin with if he was just a rebounder from your true love. Do you think that if your lost love was a Witnesses you would still be a Witness and be happy? I am not a JW, but I am checking into it, I have learned things that I had never known or heard of before. You know same old sad story grew up in an abusive, violent environment. My mother and three fathers where atheists and never taught me about God. I have been hurt so meny times by men in the world, I just thought finding a religious one would work for a change. Nothing is 100% only in dreams and fairy tales. Thanks again for your story, as a matter of fact I enjoy all of the comments and story's I have read, they will help me to decide wether being a JW is right for me. And balsam I hope that this relationship lasts and brings you meny years of joy. Casey777

  I am acually amazed that you guys have stayed and still have marriages that have lasted so long. You must have learned something from the Witnesses and you don't even know it. If you where one of those who have stuggled with divorce as a child and not having any direction or guidance on how to keep a marriage alive and well you would appreciate what you have. Haveing some direction is a blessing in my book thank you Jehovah and the Organization that you are trying to keep together I don't expect Saints, but I do apprecitate your helping us and trying to steer us all in the right direction. I hope I have not offended anyone, I am just amazed, 30 years Wow, that is great.
