My favorite story from that time is that of a very sweet young sister who called her mother excitedly to announce her upcoming marriage...of course Mom asked his name...to which the sister said..."I don't KNOW". Now as a Mom I can't imagine getting a call like that!
But...she's still married and not with the LC.
So, marriage depends upon the couple and their faith in Jesus Christ.
I remember Witness Lee saying something like, "It doesn't matter what sister. Find one, get married, and go on with Christ and the Church." I was surprised to find years later that Watchman Nee never considered marriage like that. That he advised taking it very seriously, and many factors should be considered before getting married.

I also remember Lee saying that both children and spouses were : "Little grinders." Get that. We were reduced to being little grinders. Lee was so demented.
