You've been told that "Christian marriage" means suffering in silence. That love means never saying no, not being “needy,” and definitely never questioning your husband's behavior. But what if what you're experiencing isn't just "normal marriage problems?” What if it's emotional abuse?
In this episode, I walk you through 5 key differences between normal conflict and abuse in a Christian marriage.
Key Takeaways:
- Healthy marriages = clarity, respect, and growth
- Abusive marriages = confusion, control, and punishment
- If you're constantly walking on eggshells, it's not normal.
- God never asked you to sacrifice your soul on the altar of someone else's entitlement.
🧐 Are you wondering what is happening inside your own painful and confusing marriage? I wrote a book just for you called Is It Me? Making Sense of Your Confusing Marriage. Get a free chapter by going to isitmebook.com.
I will also send you my weekly Hope Letters for Christian women in emotionally and spiritually abusive marriages.
