"I guess that was mostly my fear - that the world would be more appealing to him and a happier place than being home."

It's worse than "no olive branch" it sets them both up as stereotypes, caricatures. If people don't believe then they are enticed by the "the world", and carrying this fear she has is normal and healthy.

It's not. Healthy people don't impose a narrow set of belief tests on their spouses, that if not passed, give rise to the deepest of fears. Having this kind of fear planted in your heart, ready to sprout, is not normal or healthy.

But I understand that it would be hard for the church to tackle this issue in a balanced way - it can't be seen to consider a state of non-belief to be an acceptable status quo, it must be treated as a deficiency that we can at least maintain hope it will one day be cured. We can't leave it in God's hands, we must carry in our hearts fear for their very souls - if we don't, we don't believe hard enough.

This video is about enduring to the end, not love and acceptance.
