b"It\\u2019s a beautiful sight, isn\\u2019t it?\\n\\nA grown man throwing a tantrum. Stomping around, calling you names, slamming doors. \\n\\nHits you right in the feels, eh? \\n\\nOr maybe he\\u2019s the quiet type of mean. Stonewalling. Sleeping for days. Leaving for hours without warning.\\n\\nHowever a husband\\u2019s jerky behavior manifests, most Christian wives are taught to respond the same ways:\\n\\nAssume you\\u2019re the problem. Feel shame. \\nAssume you have to endure his behavior. Feel despair.\\nAssume you have to make his life work. Feel resentment.\\n\\nFor all these common feelings, I\\u2019ve got some uncommon alternatives. And they WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Which is a lot more attractive than a grown man acting like a two-year-old.\\n\\nEpisode Highlights:\\n\\n- The \\u201cVersus\\u201d Game: Ten common thoughts versus ten uncommon responses to abusive behavior (as mind-blowing as finding out that Pluto isn\\u2019t a planet anymore, 10x)\\n- The \\u201cBlue Hair\\u201d Game: No hair dye needed; you just have to do a bit of reframing your perspective (specifically that he\\u2019s a little nuts and you\\u2019re not)\\n- The \\u201cPeace Out\\u201d Game: The aim is to get your peace back by walking away from disrespect. Worth its weight in gold, people. \\n- The \\u201c30-Minute\\u201d Game: This is when I tell you the podcast is over.
