As you say, the ideal situation is to find common ground, work thru it, stay together, and find a new love within the marriage.

That is a more profound statement than you probably realize, Timmy. Very insightful and a lesson for all christian worshippers.

Sometimes. I've seen family integrated both successfully and unsuccessfully. It's unfair to assume that having family on staff had anything to do with the present problems, or that it caused any problems whatsover.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with nepotism if it's deserved. It's when it's given undeservingly that problems arise.

Then the man gets this beautiful wife and if he does not know how to connect with her on an emotional level, their intimate life will be VERY minimal. Face it, men need sex. If he goes years without gettin it at home, he will find it somewhere. Too many of my friends have gotten divorced in the last 2 years, leaving 20+ years of marriage and their "preacher" husbands, either he cheated or her.
He wants sex, but doesn't know how to give his wife the emotional aspect to make her want it, and since he doesn't fulfill her emotionally she looks for another man to fulfill her in that manner.
Men are DUMB in most marriages, they think it's all about the mechanics, when in reality it's about that emotional connection.

I'm glad all the women got together.

Not a good sign. Family run business ok outside the church but not in it.
