There is a book I very often recommend to my clients to read. It is called Women Who Love Too Much. It is about relationship recovery. (Meaning either recovering from a bad relationship or trying to recover the relationship.) It's written by Robin Norwood. In it are 10 steps that a woman can do to try and better things. A woman can do this in the relationship or outside of it. I find that some Christian women are at their wits end and have tried and tried and have no idea what to do except file for a divorce. Sometimes, if a woman puts these steps into place *while* in the relationship it can change her relationship simply because she is learning healthy ways to relate. I wanted to give this out as another option. Of course, a woman should make sure that she feels safe in trying these steps as trying them will often make him mad as it will bring them into "unsafe" relationship territory. If he is so physically abusive that she can't try these things safely in the relationship that definately has to be considered. Just a few ideas...either for her or anybody else who may be interested. I don't assess danger levels or make decisions for anybody....just give options. So this is a disclaimer. Any woman who is in a physically abusive situation needs to think about her safety and the children's safety FIRST.
