It is relevant as to cause and effect.

A mormon woman is completely dependent upon her husband for eternal exaltation. Her “chance” to dwell in the celestial (highest degree or heaven) kingdom.

Thus, they are placed into a position of doing whatever is necessary to please their husband in order to ensure they get their secret name called.

If the husband treats his wife poorly and she’s considering divorce, she’ll be admonished by priesthood authorities that it is her responsibility to submit to him. Her salvation depends on it.

If she persists, she will either be disfellowshipped or excommunicated, thus guaranteeing her a seat with us apostates. Thus, the high degree of depression within mormon circles. The women have no way out in their mind, so they medicate.

It’s all carefully woven together and unless you’ve lived it, it’s difficult to comprehend just how the mormon church “enslaves” its women.

It's hardly a unique phenomenon. The LDS women may be in a more organized form than most, but like ad hoc psychological abuse cases, there are opportunities to leave. When they arrive at this forum they get lots of support, don't you agree?
