Any­one in a mar­riage knows that we are all self-centered spouses who are mar­ried to self-centered spouses. But when this all-too-common sin becomes severe and chronic, it results in a mar­i­tal envi­ron­ment of abuse or neglect—leaving the spouse on the receiv­ing end feel­ing trapped and hope­less. But how might this out­look 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, shares strate­gies for inter­act­ing with them, and points to evi­dences of gen­uine change to bring hope to any­one liv­ing with a chron­i­cally self-centered spouse.
