I Married Him Now What?: A Saved Girl's Guide to Surviving Abusive Marriage

Intimate partner abuse is sadly a reality for many, even within the church community. The problem is that unless the abuse is physical, for far too long, the church has taught many to turn a blind eye to their experiences. I Married Him, Now What? A Saved Girl’s Guide to Surviving Abusive Marriage presents readers with aspects of emotional, financial, and psychological abuse that are often overlooked and/or unseen by those on the outside. As a survivor of narcissistic abuse, author Takhia Gaither discusses how faulty theology, mixed with ignoring the red flags, coupled with unstewarded spiritual gifts, almost led her to stay in a situation designed for her demise.

However, as an educator and life-long learner, she refused to perish due to a lack of knowledge. As she learned, studied, and even unlearned, she took pen to paper to write the book she needed to read as she was going through. To be used as a learning tool not only for those who find themselves in abusive marriages but for those who seek to counsel them as well, this book provides baseline knowledge for all who read it to become empowered, informed, and enlightened as they may be standing and asking, “Now what?”
