It put a strain on my marriage. My wife always hated the subservient role that was expected of women. The two of us saw eye-to-eye on how to raise our child generally but my wife was very gung-ho when it came to the so-called truth, expecting the kid to have her bible reading done and taking a hard line on several issues, while I was more laid-back about such things generally.
It did little or nothing to soldify the marriage, despite the constant admonishment. In fact, especially as my role in the congregation increased as especially after becoming an elder, I felt that being 'used' heavily, getting up on the platform and speaking on various subjects including family life, just left me more open to criticism on how I was falling short of such ideals. For example, I didn't want to do a home bible study, and yet there I would be conducting meeting parts which at times included the need for a family study.
