I have noticed that when a wife is a non member and questions church doctrine or methods, she is told she must obey and help her husband, and that it says so in the Bible.  Her questions or concerns are minimized.  On the other hand, if a husband is a non member, then the wife does not receive the same instruction.  I have been told that in that case, she is not to listen to her husband.  Where does it say that in the Bible?  Where does it make an exception if your husband is not a member of the wmscog? 

Many marriages have been broken up by the church, this is a fact.  I think the worst scenario is when small children are affected.  How can leaders in a church advise wives and husbands not to listen to each other and compromise when their children are the ones who ultimately suffer? 

I now know of two instances where the non member spouse has said they were considering leaving the member spouse since their behavior had become outrageous and erratic due to church influence.  It was eerie that the response by the member spouse was the same,"I would be sad for a while, but I'd get over it."  It seems to me that the member was prepared with a response in advance.  Since members are programmed how to respond to everything else, this could also be a response they are told to give, couldn't it? 

But will they ever really "get over it"?  Especially later when they realize they were in a mind control group and it broke up their family?  Would anyone who finally realized what happened to them as a result of being in the wmscog every really get over the loss of a loved one or of the time they lost with their kids?  It is a very sad situation.  People, if you are in there, please take another look.  Their lies aren't worth losing your family.
