How to Act Right When Your Spouse Acts Wrong

By: Leslie Vernick

Narrated by: Emily Durante

Length: 6 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's summary

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 🙏🏽♥️

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.

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.

Amazing and life changing

I known I'll be a better wife, mother, and person because of what I've read. Usually I read other self help and development books, thinking career, business and temporal success' was what I was missing in life for the success and well being of my family. I know better now. I feel a sense of freedom and empowerment I haven't felt in a long time. This is truly the best book, not only about marriage, but about life, that I have ever read. Thank Leslie for this amazing gift!

Godly advice for marriages in crisis!

Marriage reconciliation is a complex undertaking that requires special handling. This is one of the best guides I have ever read about how the body of Christ should handle such a sensitive topic.

Great tool for a healthy marriage

I like the the fact that you are motivated to keep doing what is right, regardless of the other person wrong doings.

I gave my rating all 5 stars, because of how much the book blessed me and transformed my heart condition. I was becoming heart hardened and reacting negatively towards my spouse actions, instead of responding positively and communicate effectively.

I’ll be recommending it to several friends and pastors I know going through same issues, at least 5 to 6 couples I know. Thank you so very much. 🙏🏿

If your married get this book now.

I have been through a lot in my marriage but never sought counseling. I feel that this book has given me the counseling I didn't even know I needed. I have even found out that some of my actions I thought were humble were actually self-centered. I purchased the book and will be listening to this over and over. Thank you Mrs. Vernick for this book it has saved my marriage and is helping me become the wife God wants me to be for my husband. Please get this if your married or thinking about getting married.
