  Affection

  2. friends

  i have dated a non-active (from birth) jw off and on for the past 3 years and i have noticed that he is not very affectionate at all.

  i'm wondering was it part of the upbringing?

  could it be that since the relationships were shallow this never was an issue.. has anyone else experienced this.. very curious

  hey everyone,.

  i have never been a jehovah's witness, but i've dated someone who is and i have a few clients who are.. my comment and question is this, i've noticed that witnesses who aren't even active get very defensive when asked a question or a comment is made about the religion.. did any of you find yourself before you left getting this way when people asked you about the religion.. restorebeauty.

  Happy JW Marriages the Impossible Dream?

  by IslandWoman in

  1. social
  2. family

  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.
