About
In our culture, narcissism is on the rise and has toxic effects on a marital relationship. This book offers help for women who feel trapped in a marriage with a narcissistic husband. Oelger and Martin first describe the Narcissistic Personality Disorder and its destructive effects on a marriage. They then investigate the misuse of the Bible and church teaching to preserve abusive narcissistic marriages. In particular, they discuss the Bible's influence on society in promoting male leadership and female submission as well as the church's prohibition against divorce. They present new insights to show that the Bible actually permits a wife to leave a narcissistic husband and seek a divorce. If a wife decides to remain with her narcissistic husband, however, Oelger and Martin discuss essential strategies needed for survival. The book is written in story form and is easy reading. Throughout the book, the voices and stories of many women trapped in narcissistic relationships add interest. Oelger and Martin have written a must-read book for women caught in toxic narcissistic relationships and for those who love and try to support them. Anyone struggling with the biblical or church teaching about divorce really, really needs this book to survive an abusive narcissistic marriage.
