Why I Recommend Divorce


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Enough is Enough podcast with Dr. David E. Clarke, PhD. In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Dr. Clarke shares why, after 35 years of ministry working with couples, he has made a dramatic shift — and now recommends divorce for certain marriages involving narcissistic spouses.

If you've been struggling with the painful reality of living with a narcissist, this video is for you. Dr. Clarke explains the hard truths about why staying in a narcissistic marriage causes destruction far beyond just an unhappy relationship — affecting your soul, your children, and your faith.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:
  • The journey behind Dr. Clarke's change from never recommending divorce to strongly recommending it for narcissistic marriages

  • Why narcissists cause epic trauma and betrayal that cannot be healed by staying together

  • Biblical insights and the often-overlooked third biblical reason for divorce: chronic emotional and physical abuse

  • How many Christian communities misunderstand or dismiss abuse, urging victims to stay

  • Why divorce can actually please God when it protects you from ongoing abuse

  • Practical guidance on how to move forward with faith, hope, and peace

  • Resources for spouses of narcissists ready to reclaim their lives and heal their families
