of our rhetoric in church.
Leaving aside the main point (I have a comment somewhere in there), the Stake President bothers me a little, even if it's typical and too be expected.
The main idea - men stink, need to shape up, and their wives don't.
How does this help save marriages? It seems to me the self-righteousness and entitlement in creates in the women and the guilt it forces on the men is an unhealthy brew that will help women justify leaving their loser husbands. Yes, it might cause a few borderline men to stick it out, but since women do the leaving more often than the men, this strategy by the SP does nothing to help solve that issue.

The problem is that in our culture, many many stink. Issues come in waves, and invariably they paint with too broad of a brush. I'm sorry this one hit you when you did not deserve it.
