This is truly a refreshing marriage ministry to hear especially from an African-American couple we as African American people don't have enough representation
My marriage counselor says my wife and father in law have an enmeshed relationship with narcissistic tendencies. Our home is dysfunctional from the ground up but because he throws his hands up and is based on their marriage. I’m nothing more than a tool for her. No emotional or physical intimacy at all. I don’t even get to see her naked. He won’t even acknowledge our marriage. He always forces himself into our responsibilities and one day I finally faced him for crossing a boundary with myself and my wife and he corrected me by saying “she’s MY daughter”. I take my vows seriously and my wife is sick, but it’s taking its toll on me physically, emotionally and spiritually. I don’t want to break up my family, but it’s only getting worse. G-d is the reason I’m still here. His strength is the only explanation for it. It’s in his promise that I’m holding onto and getting me through. I know who I am. I know who my G-d is, but being the only one fighting doesn’t keep the devil out when the others give him a house key. Roommate status is what she needs so she can work on her relationship with her dad. When I put a smile on my face and love her the way I’m supposed to; everything is ok to her. It doesn’t turn her around; it leaves them unchecked. The second I say wait a minute the bomb goes off. Our marriage counselor says they bully me into compliance. She came from parents that have 5 divorces between the two of them and she says she didn’t know this is what marriage was supposed to be. My parents just celebrated their 50 th and showed me a G-d filled marriage that made me want to get married and the narcissistic projections toward my parents is astonishing.
I love these messages. Sean and Lanette speak about real marriage issues not watered down but in a honest, loving, anointed way. more people really need to hear these messages. so inspiring!
Amen Shawn!!! What a wonderful message, I need my wife to hear this. I’m pretty sure she won’t, we’re headed for divorce. I need a resurrection if my marriage. Please pray for us.
I am in a emotionally abusive, controlling and alcoholic marriage. I am at my wits end of the daily abuse. I know God has a plan for me... but at the moment I just don't understand or know what it is any more. Surely it can't be to continue to suffer under this abuse?? I find myself daydreaming of escaping from his control...and being free and living in peace with God finally.!!!! I daydream of one day being free from his abusive grasps and free to be at peace with my life and with my Father.
Don’t daydream anymore. Start living the freedom. You control your own actions. You can move out and if he won’t change you can move on. God doesn’t expect a spouse to be abused and stay there and accept it. This isn’t biblical. Today, go get professional counseling. Find a relative/friend you can move in with and leave this mess. Because it’s not what God intended for a marriage. We believe in couples staying together, but it takes both to make an effort. If they won’t get professional help, if they won’t change their ways, there’s no reason to stay. Get safe & get help
Powerful!
Don't forget your value!
We appreciate the love and support
