The book totally discribed my life of confusion which at the time I had no idea centered around abuse. Because there was no physical abuse the possibility didn't evan cross my mind. After I read the book and learned that abuse was a cycle, that it could be experienced in forms other than just physical and centered around power and contol, our relationship finally made sence. I understand that change for an abusive spouse is very difficult, but I was fortunate. After I recieved the support I needed and the education around abuse from When Loves Hurts I then confronted my spouse. By the grace of God, he was willing to listen, be educated, and through a very difficult journey of his own was able to make nessesary changes to save our marriage. Soon we will celabrate our 20th anniversary and although we need to work on our relationship daily with the information we recieved through the book I continue to have hope for a future together. When love Hurts played a key role in saving not just my life but also my marriage. I will be forever thankfull!
