Flying Free

Am I the Problem in My Marriage? [85]


Listen Later

You're the problem. An angry woman, a discontent wife, a troublemaker, the ungodly one. You've heard this over and over, in your mind, at church, and from your husband. Why can't you get it together? Where do all the rage, frustration, and ugliness come from?    What if the question is the answer?   Abusers don't ask if they are abusive.    Natalie, Daphne, and Rachel discuss the common reactions women have in destructive marriages that bring shame and confusion along with: 

  • The need to see that our abusers try to force a reaction by exploiting their intimate knowledge of us.
  • How/why it is so common for counselors, pastors, family, and friends to slap the label of "abuser" on a victim (and why you don't have to care).
  • The key to freedom from this horrible merry-go-round: CHOICE!
