WOLF The Self-Absorbed Christian Marriage gives a new perspective to living in a marriage consumed by self-absorption. When a marriage suffers from self-absorption it is filled with confusion, unmet needs, and questions. The reality is that there are faithful followers of Christ who are married to people who wear the mask of Christianity because it makes them look good even thought their motives are self-centered, rather than Christ-centered. 1 Corninthians 13 becomes weapon of what the other person isn't doing, rather than a map of how to love unconditionally. For the Christian person committed to a covenant marriage, this is especially painful as he or she begins to feel trapped in his or her voes. This book advises someone on how to embrace his or her relationship with Christ within the turmoil of a self-absorbed marriage. It directs the focus back to Christ being the provider of their needs rather than their self-absorbed spouse. Hearts that are willing to be transformed are also shown how to recognize their own self-absorption which has occurred due to the neglect of their emotional needs in the marriage. Ultimately, when the spouse of a self-absorbed person starts depending on God and becoming the person God created them to be, there is hope for real change!

*****This book is a one-of-a-kind resource for Christians who are married to narcissists. If you are married to someone who has a destructive narcissistic personality and you are a Christian, you will find it invaluable. Most (but not all) secular resources about marriages to narcissists advise simply leaving and finding someone who is capable of loving in a fulfilling way. For the Christian, oftentimes leaving is not an option for many reasons, but most importantly when the Christian still loves the spouse and wants to continue to live out their commitment to love. This book addresses how to do this and provides Scriptural support for doing so as well, at the same time not denying the reality of the anguish and heartache that ensues when you live with a grossly self-centered and emotionally stunted human being.
I recommend this book to give the Christian perspective along with Nina W. Brown's "Loving the Self-Absorbed" for a secular perspective (but even more tips). Both books are for spouses who wish to STAY and love the narcissist. This approach would definitely not be for everyone, as many people would leave under the stress of being married to someone who is narcissistic, but if God is calling you to stay, then you've found help here.
Highly recommended.

Good info
Informative. Definitely worth reading
This book help save my life ....It helped me realize I was not crazy...Gave me support and courage to do the right thing.
Interesting book
Anyone who feels that things just aren't making any logical sense anymore, that their own realities cant fit within the everchanging world in which they feel trapped NEED to read this book. I spent many many hours hunting in the bookstores and online never to find a book that approached the desperateness brought on by living within their world. To survive this situation a person needs good solid advice and this all starts within this refreshing approach for christians living in their 'perfect' marriage. Ms Buchholz-Castronova has finally filled a gap within the ranks of books on relationships. Thank you. I think many people have been waiting. The word needs to get out.
The other reviews of this book are all very positive, which suggests that my observations must be wrong. Nevertheless, I was somewhat disappointed with the book. Wolf focuses on sounding-the-alarm that a wolf is lurking in a person's life -- a method for Crying Wolf. I "feels" like the venting of a victim who practiced reasonable restraint by sharing very little of her personal story. It may be that a healed-sounding narrative would have been more helpful. The editing of the book for continuity of thought, typos and grammatical errors is woefully below acceptability. The author's ventures into biblical exegesis exposes a superficial depth in Christian philosophy and theology; altough Christian counseling is her expertise. Lastly, I was alarmed by the suggestion of "escape" methods that use overt and covert deception such that (a few pages after suggesting prayer and trusting God for help) the author instructs the reader to lie.
Notwithstanding my criticism of the book, it seems to be the only resource in print that addresses this issue in this manner, so I recommend reading it if the topic is applicable to your search -- but read with care. And finally, ...if the author were to read this review.... the book is useful and can be more useful (as a reprint) if it were to be submitted to careful and capable expert editorial, technical and peer review.
Thank you.

I like that this book was easy to read and did not make me feel intimidated. I was always afraid to address anything negative about my husband because I was in love with him since I was 14 years old and now we were both in her early 40s. I appreciated the way the author did not put him or I on a stake to make me feel as if I was casting stones at him or myself or marriage because I was at a crossroads and did not know what to do and have never believed in divorce NOR had I ever not been so-in love with my husband. Additionally, because my parents had stayed married 55 years even though my father was so mean and unloving to my mom. Not that I still know which way to go, but I now feel more clearheaded and know that I need to go to God and not to my husband, who I counted on to be there always or not to my sisters or anybody else but to God for my answers. And most of all be STILL. I applaud the author for her wisdom and honesty.
