Some hindsight, especially pertaining to the segment on respect, has prompted this qualifier. This message is directed at 'typical' marriages with 'typical' issues where husbands and wives need to learn how to better handle their differences and conflicts, and hopefully give some insight into our gender-driven needs. It is not intended to oversimplify problems that may exist in a marriage facing critical issues, including abuse and flagrant sin. It is directed at how we interact with our spouses to improve our marriage; not to simply 'take it' in an unhealthy situation from either spouse.
