Is It Me? Making Sense of Your Confusing Marriage: A Christian Woman's Guide to Hidden Emotional and Spiritual Abuse by Natalie Hoffman

One out of three married women sitting in an average conservative Christian church is in a confusing and painful marriage relationship. Those women believe they are alone. I want them to know they aren't. They believe they can't find peace. I want them to know they can. They believe they don't have choices. I want them to know they do. This book isn't for the parents who raised them. It's not for the pastors who condemn them. It's not for the friends who don't understand them. And it's not for the partner who dehumanizes them. This book is for the woman in the pew who somehow, by God's divine intervention, finds it in her hand and has to catch her breath because she suddenly feels like she's free falling. I wrote this book just for you. Let's dig in.   Table of Contents: Introduction 1Chapter One: Is This Your Marriage? 3Chapter Two: What Does a Normal Marriage Look Like? 33Chapter Three: The Propaganda Machine 61Chapter Four: His Role 87Chapter Five: Your Role 115Chapter Six: The Roles of Others 141Chapter Seven: God's Role 169Chapter Eight: Changing Your Role 211Chapter Nine: House of Cards 239Chapter Ten: The Key to Your Future 271Chapter Eleven: What Comes Next? 303Conclusion 321Additional Resource Recommendations 323Acknowledgements 327About the Author 329   Natalie Hoffman is the author of Is it Me?
