VIDEO: Anger and Emotional Abuse in Marriage and Committed Relationships​

In the Anger and Emotional Abuse in Marriage and Committed Relationships video, professional marriage therapist Abe Kass discusses the impact of bullying in relationships, using the example of a character named Bob who emotionally abuses his wife, Jane. Bob’s behavior, characterized by intimidation, control, and anger, leads to Jane’s growing resentment and desire to distance herself. Kass highlights that such bullying behavior, which is a form of emotional abuse, can severely damage a relationship. He emphasizes the importance of treating a partner with respect and kindness, and the detrimental effects of anger and control in a marriage. Kass urges the audience to understand that love cannot coexist with anger and that respect and kindness are crucial for a healthy relationship.
