I'm wondering how this lines up with his counsel to a woman who's dh is in prison for child sexual abuse to not divorce him and to continue investing in the marriage. Maybe you're to turn him in and then keep investing in the marriage--how does one reconcile that???

To be honest, I don't think the Pearls do deal well with the issues related to abuse. Spunky addresses that to some degree here.

Sadly, abuse DOES occur in Christian homes, and pretending it doesn't or minimizing the reality of it, doesn't make it go away for the husbands, wives, and children involved.
