summary:
- you can't take risks
- you can't trade your comfort for resources toward a greater goal
- women have absolute legal power
- women have no obligations or duties in how they behave
- most of the masculinity exhibited by married men is performative and trivial
- every mechanism to control a wife's behavior is seen as "abuse"
Even knowing all of this, and generally agreeing with it, I still think the costs and sacrifices are worth it as long as you go in for the purposes of having children. Unless you are an incel genius like Isaac Newton or Nikolai Tesla then producing those children and doing your best to impart your values on to them, in spite of everything arrayed against you, is your "greater purpose".
Oh OK yeah, I've seen that scenario before. I can rule out that out at least. Far be it from me to look into other people's sex lives if they don't talk about it, but I talk to these people outside of church as well and it's clear they enjoy being around each other, through good times and bad times. If you have that, all other problems are fixable.
