But these women have shown to people much of what they could never imagine. Situations such as dealing with porn addiction of their husbands; expecting their every choice being scrutinized by church members (clothing, hairstyle, make of car, etc); having to support husbands' callings, (even if it means low salary and endless hours), are just a common thing to them.
They also make mistakes and pass through difficult times and the worst is that everything is very public.
