Marriage is challenging for all of us, because no spouse is perfect. But, some spouses are extremely difficult- even to the point of being "toxic." In this episode, I describe characteristics of a toxic spouse, and I offer some practical strategies to implement to help you cope in a very difficult situation.
Some excerpts from the Bible describing God's plan for marriage:
“Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
It does not demand its own way.
It is not irritable,
and it keeps no record of being wronged.”
(1 Cor. 13:4-5)

“wives…submit to your husbands as to the Lord…
husbands…love your wives…as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her…

husbands ought to love their wives

as they love their own bodies…

each man must love his wife as he loves himself,

and the wife must respect her husband.” (Eph. 5:22-33)

“…husbands must give honor to your wives.

Treat your wife with understanding as you live together…
Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.” (1 Peter 3:7)
