Figure 1. Degree of Need
Relationships Between Female Students and Student Wives
Figure 4 ranks these women students’ needs in order of highest to lowest level
of need based on the women students’ responses. The greatest difficulty that the women
students have is to meet and form friendships with the wives of DTS male students
(Question C10). Eighty percent of the women indicated at least some level of difficulty
developing relationships with seminary wives. This response is predictable since the DTS
wives have little contact with the women students and the wives are either working or
raising children whereas the women students are busy with studies, work, family, etc. So
there is little time for these two groups of women to connect.
