Treasures from God’s Word and Digging for Spiritual Gems – “A faith-strengthening vision” (Mark 9-10)
Video – Love and Respect Unites Families.
The actual sentiments of the video are good; however as with most videos produced for a while, the woman is again cast as the villain and the man as the peacemaker. It seems there is a subtle undercurrent to cast women as the troublemakers. It will only take you a short while to review a number of short videos like these to see how often this is the case.
It is also sad that while all the Bible principles and points made are correct and so important, it seems that local elders in general pay lip service to these principles when dealing with marriage problems between married partners.

This seems the most obvious understanding of the occasion. That is how I believe those who were there would have understood things.
That sounds reasonable.
