So many cliche's , subliminal messages and stereotypes :
The couple is Black so naturally the background music playing is what's stereotypically thought of as black music.
They go on an outing in the woods and naturally there is a crowd of other
people along to make sure nothing unscriptural happens.
After the wedding the wife begins waiting on the husband by bringing him a drink as he carries things into their house.
He takes the lead by studying the daily text.
Wife
is in the kitchen with an apron on baking cookies and the husband
boyishly steals a cookie and of course she thinks it cute because he's her sole reason for living.
The Husband
works on car in clean clothes and shows silly unmechanical wife how to
use a socket wrench because there's no way she'd have any idea how a car
works because only wonderful men like her husband, know about technical things like that.
The Husband bakes a cake and it looks like it was made by
an 8 year old. He presents it to her like a little boy would and it's
even more
endearing and special because we all know, men are clods when it comes
to doing anything domestic.
They study with a "worldly couple" and
we can tell they aren't JW's because their house is dingy and and cluttered, the woman is wearing pants and the man has a
moustache, long hair and even has a afro pick stuck in it (1:55).
The
wife sits in the audience and looks admiringly at her husband as he
gives a talk at the Kingdom Hall thus we know he has some kind of
position is highly regarded and therefore is the ideal husband.
The Husband surprises the wife with a
beautiful picnic complete with a matching flower arrangement and looks like it was laid out by Martha Stuart. He obviously
picked up a few domestic skills over the years.
There were no children shown earlier in the video but a little girl shows up at the end of the video for some reason and because she is white, we know she's probably not their Grandaughter since they likely held off having children of their own. It shows us that the wife has her maternal instincts fulfilled by helping other peoples children and it also shows us
that she is balanced and has dealings with people of other races.
The
opening scene in the follow up video is at the husbands memorial service and the wife is
wondering why the new system didn't arrive and how she's going to get by
without his income since they didn't have
any retirement savings and he was still working. She wishes she wouldn't have held off having a family until the "new system" so that she'd now have grown children and grandchildren to comfort her in her old age.
