[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve been going through. It seems to me that it is affecting your self-esteem.  A healthy marriage does not make you feel bad about yourself or create so much anxiety. It sounds like you’ve tried counseling but may be one more shot would be worth it. A very reputable and free organization I’ve heard about is Focus on the Family and they provide free counseling. Their number is: 855-771-HELP. If you find your husband isn’t willing to go or try to work on the issues, I hope you will seek counsel for yourself to determine your next steps. Would it be ok if I prayed for you and your situation? I wish you all the best!

Focus on the Family is not a "reputable" organization.  It is a well-known Christian right organization that promotes it's agenda - anti-abortion, pro-marriage (unless it's gay marriage, in which case their anti-marriage), pro-religious solutions.  They have supported conversion therapy on the basis of junk science, which disqualifies them IMO from being trusted to offer any reliable, evidence-based therapy or advice about relationships.  If you would like to be counseled on God's plan for your marriage and sexuality, give 'em a ring.

As opposed to, say, Planned Parenthood, which promotes its agenda of abortion?

FOTF does a LOT of good for a lot of people. If you don't like it, fine, but you have no business slamming them in this manner. You have no idea what you're talking about.[/quote]

I know this post is old but am posting in case others search fo this.

I’m not the original person who slammed FOTF above, but I’m a Christian who agrees with that post. The conservative Christian world and leadership really dropped the ball when it came to protecting women and I wouldn’t trust them with a 10-foot pole near my marriage. Their one trick they have up their sleeve is to tell women to just buck up, pray for their husband, soothe theirs egos and one day their husband will magically be nicer through the miracle of prayer. Which is BS. That’s what happens when women have no voice or leadership roles. Run away from FOTF. There are many other places that offer real marriage counseling. Some Imago counselors are Christian (if that is what you are looking for) and their approach is much more balanced.

Praying for people’s marriages is good and all but we also have to hold abusive men accountable. [/quote]
