The Self-Centered Spouse: Help for Chronically Broken Marriages

Anyone who is married is already a self-centered spouse...but when this all-too-common sin becomes severe and chronic, it results in a marital environment of abuse or neglect - leaving the victimized spouse feeling trapped and hopeless. But how might this hopelessness change if we knew that Jesus addressed just such chronically broken relationships?

Brad Hambrick examines Jesus' teachings about relationships to show us how we can turn the other cheek while keeping away from unhealthy and destructive paths. He identifies different types of self-centered spouses to show us what we are dealing with, shared strategies for interacting with them, and points to evidences of genuine change to bring hope to anyone living with a chronically self-centered spouse.
