Scot, you could have been describing a dear friend of mine who after 42 years of continuous criticism (turning everything upside-down and inside-out), finally came to see that God would allow her to file for divorce. That's another aspect of the issue for Christian women locked in abusive marriages. They continue to endure endless abuse because they do not want to do anything contrary to God's "will." I suspect it's easier for non-Christian women to get out of a sick and harmful marriage than it is for godly women enduring constant abuse because they don't see any way out that does not violate what they've been taught about "God's will." SIGH.

Thank you for adding your voice to that of Byrd, Vernick, and many others who clarify and add a validating voice to those who've experienced deep pain and emotional abuse within a Christian marriage. In addition.... March Madness has added great enjoyment to the weekend. Close games with interesting upsets.
