Let’s answer some more listener questions today! These questions include, “How do I respond to my husband who says that ‘Your body belongs to me, and you don't have any biblical grounds to say no when I want sex’?” “How can we continue to do the work of unraveling purity culture's effects if we're not in a healthy marriage?” and “What type of counselor should I be looking for?”

If you’re looking for some Biblical truth, a *few* snarky comments, and some very practical advice, you’re looking in the right place.

Key Points From This Episode:

• Some wise responses to an abusive husband who mistakenly believes that you owe him sex whenever he wants.
• A plethora of verses to combat the lie that “your body belongs to your husband.”
• How to unravel purity culture’s long-lasting effects on us while still in an abusive marriage.
• How to find a *good* counselor.
• Why it’s not your responsibility to find your abusive husband a counselor.
• Why people who are NOT in abusive marriages NEVER wonder, “Am I in an abusive marriage?”
• How to “break up” with your counselor. Spoiler alert: no sappy break-up letters necessary.
