How to Act Right When Your Spouse Acts Wrong

By: Leslie Vernick

Narrated by: Emily Durante

Experience the blessings of an imperfect marriage. We all - at one time or another - have opportunities to act right when our spouses act wrong. There are no perfect marriages or perfect spouses. We know that having a good marriage requires effort and hard work. Yet we often don't know how to continue to love when we are angry, hurt, scared, or just plain irritated. Nor are we sure what that kind of love is supposed to look like.

Should we be patient? Forgive and forget? Do something else entirely?

Acting right when your spouse acts wrong will not necessarily guarantee a more satisfying marital relationship, nor will it automatically make your spouse change his or her ways - although both could occur. It will, however, help you see how God is stretching you in the midst of your marital difficulties, teach you to respond wisely when wronged, and lead you into a deeper relationship with Christ as you yield your will to his plan for your life and learn to be more like him.

EXCELLENT BOOK!

Leslie's insight is phenomenal. sounds like I was in a counseling session and each chapter that I heard. I would recommend this book highly to anyone, who is needing help in this areas...

Extremely helpful for my mindset

This audio book is amazing. Perfect for anyone married—-going through struggles, rough patch or ongoing issues that make you want to choke your spouse. Sorry—-not really, but you get my point.

Christian based—-powerful direction that restores and reminds me of how God is the one in control and able to help me act right when my spouse os acting wrong. Thank you so much for this audio book 🙏🏽♥️

This book exposed all the enemy's tricks!

This book really helped me to see my part and how I am contributing to many of the misunderstandings. I thank God for putting this book in my path. I also love love love the fact that all the advice was backed up with scripture from God!

good introduction

this is a good introduction. it can be a bit simplistic at times, in my opinion, but it directs the reader to recognize some common misconceptions of marriage.

Great for ALL who read.

It’s not about what your spouse is doing wrong..... It’s about how you act and react through it all. Biblical teaching is spot on. Great examples given.

Own your own work

I read this book a couple years ago. It was helpful, but didn’t fully apply because my H was deep into addictions and abusive in many areas. Today I listened to the audio version. I listened to gain insight on what God expects from ME in all my relationships. This book is full of practical examples, biblical truths and very applicable. Leslie Vernick is a godsend!! I love and appreciate her work.

Very convicting

I thought this was going to be a book about divorce or creating boundaries with a spouse but rather it is about the self sacrificing, growth through trial nature of marriage, only through Christ and the Holy Spirit are we able to live out this type of unconditional love. Encouraged me to seek his will and learn how to sacrifice my own ego to glorify the father through a toxic marriage.

Love it!

Needed this, and thankful I got it at just the right time. A must read/listen for all men that want to be better husbands and Godly men.

Awesome

Awesome book very balanced and right on. Would recommend to anyone. very informative, enjoyed it.

Loved

Thank for helping sharing this wise information.
I look forward to applying it in my marriage.
