In this very important episode, Father Michael stresses the fact that God does not desire us to be abused and marriage is not justification for mistreatment. He notes that abusive men will often "cherry pick" verses from the Bible to try to convince us that we must tolerate their behavior.

Father reminds us that Christ, as the Head of Church, His Bride, places Her at the center of His heart. Husbands are called to imitate Christ and love their wives as He loves His Bride.

When this is not the reality in our marriage, how do we discern God's will and sort the truth from the lies? Father Michael will give you advice on just how to do that in this episode.
