<p>A marriage is not always what it seems. Behind a peaceful façade there can be a history of great distress because one spouse controls and abuses the other. The Bible has a word for these coercive patterns: oppression. Because these patterns are often hidden, it takes skill and knowledge to draw them out. In “Identifying Oppression in Marriages,” Darby Strickland gives you tools to do this.</p>
