Dionne,
I agree with most of what you have written here. It's so much easier to write it down than to LIVE it. My husband is verbally abusive and constantly belittles me and cuts me down in front of my kids, my family and our friends. It's hard to turn the other cheek to that kind of behavior. I just wonder how much one person is suppose to take. Do you think God wants us to be treated that way as someone's door mat???

I haven't given up. Instead I have order the book The Love Dare. It's difficult to keep working when you feel like the other party isn't even trying to meet you half way.

thanks for your response!
