Don't Feel Guilt For Divorcing Your Narcissistic Spouse

[@sabinedouble07]

A very refreshing view from a Christian perspective. Too long have abused Christian spouses been made to feel guilty for leaving or wanting to leave. I finally left 2 years ago and zero regrets and i thank God every day for my escape from my abusive marriage

How refreshing to actually hear this said within the context of a Christian perspective. Years of marriage abuse, made worse by church abuse,

The church abuse is hurting me most right now

Thank you for your coverage on this topic. I have known the truth, however to hear someone articulate it in a clear and concise manner along with the Biblical Scriptures, and spelling it out so clearly that he Is in fact a Narcissist take such a weight and burden off of me. My heart felt gratitude. 🙏

I grew up with a narcissistist father and I married someone similar to him. I was blinded by lust and I was mentally emotionally abused after some counseling and the behest of my Christian counselor he told me that I had grounds for divorce however I still blame myself because it wasn't for adultery. I know when I talked to people at church when I was still married, a lot of them sided with him and I was told that I didn't know how to treat my husband by one old lady that was treated by her husband wonderfully. I think because of God hates divorce it really is hard for Christians to give a pass for those who have been abused because I think they're the wife is expected to pray for her husband to change and to just endure the abuse. It's insinuated but also directly said. I think they give a pass to divorce men a lot more than divorced women. I got divorced 3 years later after I married him I could not put up with it I was either going to hurt him or myself and I worked at the police department at the time LOL. Never mind it's so much of my childhood and of my dad. Divorce since 2006. And guess what I never remarried. It really traumatized me that much. Plus there is other factors of not getting married which I don't need to say. Thank you doctor for all of your affirmation I hope I fully buy into it someday.

Thank you for this Dr. Clarke. I have been my own worst critic while my family, friends and church supported me. His friends told me that I needed better tools to deal with him. They are no longer in my life.

Quite often the abuse can lead to threats of death or death so one should use extreme caution. The Bible says have nothing to do with these types of abusers. “But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]. For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, [and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭AMP‬‬

This guys cool, says it how it is, love how passionate and empathetic he is with the victims. We are going to see things get worse in the world, Jesus said in the end times violence will increase, ppl will be lovers of selves, hearts will wax cold, etc ...we are in the book of Revelation, pls know, God is seperating the wheat from the tares, pls stay safe, ur safety is number 1.

sounds like my ex-husband

[@testtestryan2927]

Scripture states God Hates divorce. Repeatedly found spoken by God in the old testament and in the gospels. Talk with your spouse.

He hates you making an idol of marriage over the way He intended it to be even worse.

Read the old testament on how people were divorced and remarried and God didn't call them adulterers or say they should be put to death. In fact, He also outlines how they should not go back to a former spouse after marrying someone else. In Malachi where God says He hates divorce, He's referring to men callously abandoning their wife for someone else and leaving her destitute.
