Publisher's Description
"I can't live this way anymore.""I've given up trying to change him.""I can't ever be good enough.""He won't listen to me anyway."As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Ron Welch has heard many women in controlling marriages pour out their hearts. They feel trapped, helpless, stuck in a situation with no solution and no way out. In this candid book, Welch offers real hope. He shows women how controlling husbands develop, why wives allow themselves to be controlled, and strategies to help both husband and wife change. Welch struggled as a controlling husband for years but found help and healing in his relationship with his wife. He uses that experience, as well as examples from the lives of the couples he's worked with, to show women that just because "he's always been this way" doesn't mean their marriage must be that way forever. He teaches women valuable practical skills for coping with the challenges they face and transforming the power and control issues in their marriages. For wives of controlling husbands, along with the friends and family members who love and are concerned about them, this is an essential resource. Counselors will also find it helpful as they work with hurting couples.

“In The Controlling Husband: What Every Woman Needs to Know, Ron Welch is a great diagnostician. He describes problems that will have many couples saying, “Yes, yes, that’s us!” But where he shines is in his tried-and-true solutions in breaking the bonds of the controlling husband. His solutions—praising, finding hope in, forgiving, and serving each other—will create real mutuality in the one flesh of marriage. Highly recommended.”
“Dr. Welch has carefully crafted realistic strategies for healing your marriage that will lead you to a new way of living and show you that transformation is possible. As a counselor of over thirty years, I highly recommend the solutions presented in this book. You will find new understandings and new answers.”
