In today's video, we're exploring how Patriarchy within the context of Mormonism impacted our relationship. While Elisha's scrupulosity played a significant role, Jamie explains that from his perspective, the true wedge between us was the patriarchal structure embedded in our religious lifestyle. In Mormonism, as in many religious settings, power dynamics are often uneven, making communication difficult and obscuring our ability to see each other as equals. These assigned roles not only shaped our interactions but also hindered our ability to address the real issues in our relationship. Join us as we unpack the challenges that patriarchy and religious influence brought into our marriage and share our journey toward greater understanding and equality. ----- WELCOME TO FAITH UNRAVELED: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faith.unravel...
