Summary

Segment 1:

• A Biblical Word We Ignore: Loidoreó—to revile, strike, or verbally abuse.

• A Growing Issue: The number of men suffering in marriages with abusive wives is increasing.

• Cultural Shift: Women are often told they are the center of the universe—how does this impact relationships?

Segment 2:

• Scripture Speaks: Proverbs warns repeatedly about the misery of living with a quarrelsome woman.

• No Peace at Home: A reviling wife creates an oppressive and toxic environment.

• Undiscussed Church Issue: Abuse has been mischaracterized as only a men’s issue—time to correct that.

Segment 3:

• The Root of Toxicity: The natural tendency of some women is to usurp their husband’s role.

• Bitterness Takes Over: A hurt can turn into long-term resentment if not dealt with biblically.

• God’s Cure: True healing and change come from surrendering bitterness and embracing forgiveness.

Segment 4:

• The Impossible Standard: No husband can ever do enough for a bitter, reviling wife.

• Confronting the Issue: Pastors and counselors often avoid addressing this problem—why?

• Repentance Is Key: A bitter woman who refuses to repent will poison her household—change is possible through Christ.
