All other matters of life become subservient to "the Body", or even worse, "the feeling of the Body". Just as Witness Lee was able to reverse the biblical dynamic of "the ministry" being for the churches into the churches being for the ministry, with a lot of help from us he was able to reverse the natural God-ordained order of the church being for marriages and families to marriages and families being for the church.

The fruit of all this ignorance of, and even reversal from, the bilblical, God-ordained order of things is now in full bloom in the Local Church movement. Of course it's much easier to see these things now looking from the outside, away from the garlic room, so to speak. When we were inside, it was "We are for the Lord's Recovery!" - "Christ and the Local Church!" The problem is that we were "putting the cart before the horse" and "couldn't see the forest for the trees".

What I had heard over the years is attend the meetings and the church life will take care of the marriage life and family life.
