My husband is friends with a couple he has known since the 1990's who both want the upper hand. They have dated off and on since the 1990's. Both of them are controlling in nature, but they have a take it or leave it attitude regarding anyone who does not want to deal with that behavior.
Both of them are Christians.
They are just friends at the moment.
The woman wants to find a mate who will take care of her. My husband senses that she is bitter and frustrated with life as well as what God has given her. She has an I do not care attitude.
My husband and I have been out to lunch and dinner with them several times, but it has gotten to the point that I cannot and do not want to deal with that behavior.
She also an influence over her male friend as to who he should and should not help.
How do you deal with people who are like this when your spouse is friends with them?

The place to start is with your spouse because the other couple probably couldn't care less.
How I deal with difficult people is to avoid them or choose (when applicable) my battles carefully. Remember Tar-Baby?!
According to my husband the female half of the couple has been stepped on, walked on, and used. People she has known have left her for some reason, which I do not know. She has an I do not care attitude because of this as well as a take it or leave it attitude.

I prefer whips and bondage, that usually keeps people in line. Wait. What was the question again?

Is the issue you have with these people the fact that they have controlling personalities or that they are Christians? Seems to me that the two issues are actually unrelated and that you might get some more helpful answers had you posted this is the relationships forum.

I tried to tell her how I felt about the situation, but she wants me to leave her alone.

I'm not so sure about that, there may be a direct correlation?
I tried to tell her how I felt about the situation, but she wants me to leave her alone.
So that is what I am doing.
That does not explain why you posted on a Christian forum?
