Once married an elders daughter and lived many years in "hell".
Now married to a Catholic!!!! for 15 years. I have never loved and felt so loved.
I was thinking about this recently. In the " truth" , I tried to be a good, caring, loving husband.
But, hey thats normal. As Paul said " miserable man that I am. I have only done what I ought to have done."
So in the "truth", no one EVER thought to love me back. I realize now that I never felt loved in all the years ( nearly 30 ) that I was in. Everything I did was just EXPECTED of me.
Today I am loved and appreciated, by my wife and all of her family. I have never been so happy.
No marriage is ever garanteed. But JWs do NOT have a monopoly on happy family life.
