In this episode, Andrew Ray talks with David Powlison and Julie Lowe about conflict resolution in marriage. Their discussion was prompted by a listener’s question: “My husband and I were in a very heated discussion the other day. He became really upset, and stormed out of the room. Along the way, he slammed doors, kicked a bunch of things, and called me a bad name. We attend church regularly, and we pray together every night. That same night, he said ‘sorry’ but slept in the guest room for a couple of nights afterward. When he came back to bed last night, he placed his hand on my wrist, and asked if I wanted to pray with him. I said yes, but I could only cry. He prayed for us and I cried myself to sleep. We spoke briefly this morning, and I’ve asked the Lord to help me forgive him. Even though he’s trying, there’s still a large part of me that wants to leave him. I feel so abused and violated. I am angry with him, I’m severely disappointed in him, I don’t respect him at all. When he talks and touches me as though nothing is wrong, it makes me even more upset. Besides prayer and counseling, where do I go?”
