Abuse of any kind is entirely inconsistent with God’s plan for marriage, as described in Scripture. Today Dr. David E. Clarke returns to the podcast to debunk reasons that godly women give for staying with their abusive spouse. Dr. Clarke has counseled so many spouses who have been taught that God wants them to remain with an abuser, so today he explains a clear, biblical basis for separation from an ungodly, unrepentant, narcissistic, or dangerous spouse. Listen to learn about confronting the lies that keep you with an abuser.
Episode highlights include:
- Many wives will stay for the kids’ sake. Is that good for the kids?
- How to know if the spouse is truly committed to change
- Advice for a spouse who stays because they do not have a job or income of their own
- Differences between addressing normal marital issues and dealing with abuse
We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
