About this listen

The wife is the “unexpected” abuser/reviler in a marriage. Biblically, the term “revile” speaks of the verbal aspect of mistreatment of others. It is a “non-contact” weapon in the arsenal of the bitter, controlling person. Both in society and in the Church, it is assumed that the husband is the one who reviles the wife, yet there is a growing trend where the opposite is the case. And this trend will continue to get worse as role confusion in marriage and relationships escalates in the modern world. Men in marriages where they are reviled feel alone, judged, and hopeless. Most men in this kind of marriage suffer silently since to openly admit this problem calls into question one’s masculinity. Being reviled is so painful and debilitating that most men seriously contemplate suicide. It is no wonder then, that the sin of “reviling” requires church discipline (1 Cor. 5:11; 6:10), yet how many churches practice this? This book is a must-read for the husband living in a reviling marriage. It is also a resource for the Pastor who wishes to minister to his people according to the Scriptures. Wives will also find from this book to help them avoid the pitfalls that can so easily entangle them. Drawing on his vast experience as a full-time Biblical Counselor, Dr. Edgington examines this pressing issue from both his experience in counseling husbands and wives, and also from the practical application of the Word of God. David D. Edgington, PhD is the founder and Executive Director of “Compassionate Counselors,” which is a Biblical Counseling ministry in Phoenix, Arizona. He is also an ordained Pastor with over 20 years of experience and is currently the Preaching Pastor at Christ’s Community Church in El Mirage, Arizona.

Not a big fan of AI, but the message in this book forever changed my mind about being a passive husband and father. If you continually deal with despair and hopelessness in your marriage as a man, it is a must read.

My marriage of 37 years legally ended 6 months ago. Just heard about the book a week ago. I needed this book 37 years ago. Pastors and counselors need to read this book. More importantly, men in marriages such as this book addresses will be edified and profoundly blessed by this treatise.

Profoundly Blessed

The artificial intelligence narrator left lots to be desired. However, this book did help me understand my frustrations when it comes to how we look at the Bible these days and made me want to reconsider how my relationship is going with Jesus Christ.

This book made me rethink the men’s role in the household, and how God ordained it to be.

A much needed book, that highlights an overlooked, misrepresented, and often acquitted sin. That needs to be talked about especially in the climate of our current culture.
