If you or someone you know is in an abusive marriage, please reach out to the national hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text "START" to 88788.

It was originally created by the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project in Duluth, Minnesota, and is used widely in the context of domestic violence. The wheel typically consists of several different areas, each representing a different form of control. These areas are: 1. **Using Intimidation**: Abusers may use threats, gestures, or display weapons to frighten their partner. This can include destroying property, making threats to harm themselves or others, or using looks or actions to scare the victim. 2. **Using Emotional Abuse**: This includes tactics such as calling the victim names, making them feel worthless, or constantly criticizing and belittling them. The abuser may use guilt or shame as a form of control. 3. **Using Isolation**: The abuser may try to cut the victim off from their support network, such as friends, family, or coworkers. This can also involve limiting the victim’s access to transportation or communication, thereby increasing the victim’s dependency on the abuser. 4. **Minimizing, Denying, and Blaming**: The abuser minimizes the victim's feelings, denies any abuse, or blames the victim for the abuse. This tactic is often used to avoid taking responsibility for their actions and to make the victim question their own reality. 5. **Using Children**: The abuser may use children to manipulate the victim, such as threatening to take the children away, using the children to relay messages, or forcing the victim to make decisions based on the children's needs or safety. 6. **Using Male Privilege (or Gender Privilege)**: This form of abuse refers to the abuser using societal gender roles to assert dominance over their partner, often based on traditional patriarchal norms. This may involve treating the victim as inferior or believing the abuser has the right to make all decisions in the household. 7. **Economic Abuse**: The abuser may control all the finances, prevent the victim from working, or limit access to money to ensure financial dependency. This can make it difficult for the victim to leave or gain independence. 8. **Using Coercion and Threats**: This includes threatening harm, or threatening to leave, hurt themselves, or report the victim to authorities. The abuser may also threaten to reveal private or embarrassing information to pressure or control the victim. Each of these areas represents a tactic used by abusers to maintain control over their partners in an abusive relationship. The overall goal is to undermine the victim's autonomy, self-worth, and safety. Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (GRACE): https://www.netgrace.org/resources Article produced by ChatGPT: The "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" is a concept introduced by Dr. John Gottman, a renowned psychologist and relationship expert, to describe negative communication patterns that can predict the end of a marriage. The four horsemen are: 1. **Criticism**: This involves attacking your partner’s character or personality, rather than addressing a specific behavior or issue. For example, saying, "You never think about anyone but yourself" instead of "I feel neglected when you don’t consider my needs." 2. **Contempt**: This is the most destructive of the four horsemen. Contempt involves treating your partner with disrespect, mockery, sarcasm, or scorn. It often manifests as eye-rolling, name-calling, or hostile humor. Contempt undermines the emotional foundation of the relationship. 3. **Defensiveness**: When feeling attacked or criticized, a defensive response is to deny responsibility, make excuses, or counter-attack. This response prevents constructive dialogue and resolution of the issue at hand. 4. **Stonewalling**: This is when one partner withdraws from the conversation, either by shutting down emotionally or physically, avoiding engagement, or going silent. It is often a response to feeling overwhelmed or flooded by emotions, but it leads to a lack of communication and connection. Gottman’s research suggests that these patterns, if left unchecked, can severely damage relationships and may even predict divorce. He also ...
