Reviews for Emotionally Destructive Marriage

[Rona W · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Stimulating. Provoking. Encouraging. Exposure to marriage is free of racism.

[Ruth Ayo-Adeola · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Best book ever written on this topic. It is very balanced and eye opening. It is revelatory.

[Ayana Henderson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book has been a extremely helpful. Leslie made me feel valid and honored in what I was feeling. She didn't give me the run of the mill, "just pray about it, don't focus on his flaws" response to what I was experiencing. She acknowledge it for what it was and gave practical tips on how to regroup, refocus and recharge. I enjoyed this book so much that I signed up for her CONQUER Journey program! Excited to start the journey of healing.

It’s such an eye opener in how marriages can be destructive and if we don’t handle them with enough care and guide from God it can easily destroy us. I’m grateful to have come into this book, certainly God guided me to listen to the audiobook.
