Marriages are tougher, usually, than a bunch of people being mean to the couple.

I don't even know how it is supposed to be administered. Everything discussed here is merely about perception.

Yes missionary numbers are down and therefore baptisms. I think the brethren look at this as a failed experiment and are now looking for ways to lower the bar.

A failed experiment in that the brethren intended to improve the quality of missionary and thereby increase the numbers of baptism? Instead, it's decreased the number of missionaries and baptisms are down?

I think the raising of the bar is overblown and I specifically recall an apostle, I think Elder Ballard, speak on the subject at conference and basically tell the Bishops and Stake Presidents that perhaps they were too gregarious in their enforcement. I took it to mean we need more warm bodies in our sales force. I like the raising of the bar focus with respect to parents teaching their kids and preparing them for missionary service. It is really no different than any other church espoused parental obligation, but it is invigorating to give it a catchy phrase.
