"Wife School is part of a cottage industry of affable Christian women selling online courses to their compatriots promising connubial joy, with a generous helping of Bible passages and anecdotes from their own enviable relationships."
"Women, especially those aged 18 to 29, are fleeing organized religion due in large part to its often regressive view on gender roles, experts say."
"These women are building businesses that exploit these feelings of inadequacy that their followers have."
Wife School, led by Tilly Dillehay, instructs women on becoming ideal wives who are smiling, attentive, and submissive. This initiative reflects a growing trend among Christian women selling online courses aimed at achieving marital bliss. Despite the appeal, many young women are distancing themselves from organized religion due to its outdated views on gender roles. Meanwhile, men appear to be experiencing a religious revival. The courses capitalize on feelings of inadequacy among women, highlighting a significant shift in the dynamics of faith and marriage.
