In terms of counseling it is said that; so to speak it takes two to tango. Psychologists will state that there is a submissive person and the aggressor in terms of controlling behavior. Making ourselves the victim is something that aggressors often use to excuse abusive behavior by being obsessed with themselves and thinking everything is an offense against them.
At any rate; once again if we are strong in the Spirit fear comes on the manipulator. God can stop them from doing things; either way He gives us the strength even with threats and intimidation; nonetheless there are times someone needs to step in. Again when the Spirit is working mightily it is unnerving for someone from the outside because they are restricted. Someone who truly is saved but immature surely will be restrained because they cannot deny God is blessing someone; this can cause all ranges of reactions
This becomes an issue because we end up with those who make all sorts of claims on manifestations of the Spirit in their lives but they aren't out there effectively making a difference in spreading the Good News; while others of course hold no regard to any experiential personal communication between a believer and the Lord hence it is a doctrinal assent with little more to back it up. Neither position holds water or merit long term.
Again I feel like I am not the one to give such advice; having gone through a failed marriage. Some will sadly have the same fate as I did but I pray the lessons I learned can help others before a fatal blow comes to their relationships.
I will also state that no matter how long we have been calling ourselves Christians or religious; we still have potential in this life to either think or act out evil. As more than one brother has said to me over the years I'm a lot worse than you think. God brings two sinners together in a marriage covenant and we can claim promises based on it; but it's a daily struggle.

time!
Thank you.
This message on AI is the way I see
it also. Since God is a spirit. Those that
communicate with God needs to have
a spirit: be able to physically respond
to the FIVE senses given to
Mankind.
As a source of information, a library, AI maybe helpful.
It seems to me that only Humans can
receive the " revealed will of God Almighty."
I'm seeking more knowledge. This site
definitely has stirred up my spirit.
May God bless
Us all.
