Zero Tolerance: Why Verbal and Emotional Abuse in Marriage Must Never Be Normalized

Abuse isn’t always physical.
Sometimes it shows up in raised voices, slammed doors, profanity, name-calling, and threats that make you shrink in fear or walk on eggshells.

Let’s be clear: this is not love.
And it is never okay.

You don’t need bruises to justify setting boundaries.
Verbal and emotional abuse are just as real—and just as damaging.

Yes, it’s scary to put your foot down.
Yes, it can feel intimidating to walk out of the room or step outside to de-escalate.
But here's the truth:
The only thing your spouse will ever truly respect is you respecting yourself.

You’re not dishonoring the marriage by protecting your peace.
You’re honoring your God-given worth.

You are not helpless.
You are not crazy.
You are allowed to say, “I will not accept this behavior.”

And if you're in a pattern where abuse is the norm, it’s time to get help—not just for your marriage, but for your soul.
