Dr. David Clarke: Enough Is Enough: Leaving an Abusive Relationship | FamilyLife Today

When the abuse starts, enough is enough. You need to get to safety. Now.

It’s time to find a haven somewhere else. There will be a chance, down the road, to assess where your marriage is headed in the long term. No one is saying divorce is the inevitable outcome. God can transform anyone.

But He doesn’t promise to do that. People choose to persist in sin. And that’s why it’s imperative to think clearly, take stock of the situation, and most of all, protect yourself and those whom you love.

Dr. David Clarke, a licensed psychologist specializing in marital therapy for more than 30 years, wants to help you make the break from your abusive relationship. Whether or not divorce is on the horizon is beside the point. You need to get out, so you can sort it out.

Dr. Clarke understands this journey won’t be easy. That’s why he provides practical advice, as well as biblical guidance. Physical, emotional, sexual, verbal, or other abuse is a sin that doesn’t come from above.

Give your marriage the best chance to succeed. Only with some distance will you be able to see what your loving, ever-faithful God has in store for you and assess your marriage for the long term.
