Blake Robert Templeton teaches Christian husbands to treat a wife's emotional breakdown as a spiritual attack. He recommends laying a hand on her, praying to bind the enemy in Jesus' name, and plead the blood of Jesus, then affirm she's not crazy but under attack and shower her with love and gifts.
Hey, so if your wife has a meltdown and just says something downright nasty, it's not personal. It's actually code language. The devil is attacking her. So as a man of God, what do you and I do? We actually attack the attacker. It looks something like this. I would just come up to my wife and I would lay my hand on her and say, hey beloved, I want to actually pray for you. And then I would So we could do it together. I would say, I bind the enemy right now in the name of Jesus who is attacking my girl, who's bringing a spirit of overwhelm. And right now I actually plead the blood of Jesus on her. I shower her with love and joy of the King of Kings in Jesus' name. Amen. And then I would just be silent and give presents. What do we do? We actually, one, show that she's the victim, not the one attacking. Number two, we actually pointed out directly that she's not crazy. There is an actual enemy attacking. Number three, we dismantled the enemy. Number four, we brought unity with us. Number five, gave her love and joy.
