No. Christianity tells spouses to cherish and reverence each other (Ephesians 5).
Secular pop psychology is more at fault for domestic violence than Christianity ever could be. It, in general, tells each spouse to validate SELF, and assert SELF — SELF esteem, SELF help, SELF worth, SELF aggrandizement, SELF ad-nauseam. When couples seek individuality more than togetherness, they inevitably grow apart. When they grow apart, they become rivals and adversaries, rather than a team.
The disintegration of the family is a cerfifiable sign of the times we’re in.
Besides that, SELFishness is simply the generic expression of original sin — which is entirely based on envy and pride.
(The Gospel according to Roger Miller):
“It is my belief
Pride is the chief
Cause of the decline
In the number of
Husbands and wives.”
