The Marriage Counseling Blog

Isn’t it strange for a marriage counseling blog to say that you should not continue your marriage? Don’t we always say that you should not give up on marriage too soon? Yes, we say that. We believe in saving marriages, so why change the tune?

No, we are not changing our belief. What we simply mean is that not all marriages are worth saving. What kind of marriages are we talking about? We are talking about abusive marriages.

Now, there is no particular definition about an abusive relationship, but if you find a spouse beating up the other or humiliating the other in front of people, you will definitely call it a bad marriage. Now, some abusive relationships are obvious. The one with mental abuse are difficult to figure out. However, both the victim and the perpetrator are aware how the relationship is.

Most of the time, the victim is too afraid, confused, or unsure to walk out of the abusive relationship. And there are those cases where a couple calls their marriage abusive because of their conflicts. In an abusive relationship, there is always a perpetrator of the abuse and a victim.

When communication reduces people down to being cursed at and humiliated, it is time you walk out of the relationship. Relationship abuse victims have low self esteem that makes them wonder if they can have a future – professional and personal – outside the relationship. They definitely need counseling but not the one that talks about sticking to the marriage.

If you feel threatened in your relationship, it is time to call it quits.
