Saving Struggling, Sexless, and Toxic Marriages.Kathryn Morrow, Author of Behind The White Picket Fence.How To Move Forward After Physical Abuse?When a man gets physical, it’s serious. The first priority is safety — and then truth, accountability, and real change.In this Q&A episode (Ep425), Courtney shares a first-ever physical incident (pushing/dragging), a police call, and a court-imposed no-contact order. Cass breaks down a distinction most people never hear: characterological violence (pattern-based, predatory, controlling) vs. situational violence (escalation inside a volatile conflict). The path forward depends on which one you’re dealing with.What we cover:What to do after a first physical incident (and what NOT to do)Situational vs. characterological abuse — how to tell the differenceWhy “anger management” alone doesn’t fix this (identity work does)How shame keeps people stuck in the same cycleWhat repair can look like after the no-contact order lifts (if it’s safe)How both partners take responsibility for their side without excusing violenceIf you are in danger: contact local emergency services or a domestic violence hotline in your country. Do not use a podcast episode as a safety plan.🔗 Explore more resources and our story: https://www.morrowmarriage.com/Join Cass Morrow and Kathryn Morrow, the resilient couple behind Morrow Marriage.
