"I keep praying that God will change my husband," the young woman told me in a recent counseling session. She was obviously in distress.

"What's happening in your marriage?" I asked.

"My husband treats me with disrespect," she said. "He's sarcastic with me, ignores me when I'm talking, and spends more time playing video games than listening to me."

"You sound very frustrated," I said. "I can imagine you must become very frustrated when this happens. How do you handle this?" I asked.
