Men fall into addiction or what you comment mainly for being vilified or problems of various kinds, it is best to help them and redirect them in any case, it would not have happened to me because I am A pretty selective woman
But I will stand firm in my position Marriage is an unshakable strength
 
I am a child of divorce , my parents divorced when I was 7 years old . If they had not , one of the 3 of us ( mum , dad or me ) would have been dead , probably me . Divorce is sometimes very necessary .

There are biblical reasons for divorce. One should consider these before divorcing. While no woman should remain in a place where they or their children are in danger, physical abuse is not given as a reason for divorce.

I can't say the same thing and religiously speaking unfeasible I'm just the opposite my parents have been happily together since teenagers my grandparents etc and in a conservative way It's nice to see structural and conservative families but I recognize that my case is rare and most not of them are like that in your case separated etc. Misfortunes for the current faith and why it is necessary to be in communion with healing. so that it doesn't happen. Greetings and encouragement dear 💌

It is ideal to be together and that children grow up in homes with a protective family of women and men promoted. In any case, whether the man is mistreated or the woman is not viable, Divorce must go to healing. It is not that it is a selfish way of thinking mine because I have always been quite capricious and have had everything but it is that it is divine law, Christ would not like it Your text honestly and I respect you but it's the truth. Greetings equally dear mate

My dad almost murdered me , good enough reason ? My dad put cigarettes out on my mum , good enough ?
What a disgusting feeling to do that to your own offspring, but surely one day he will be sorry for it, God is always aware of everything and returns reason, devout blessings ❤️

The Bible condemns spousal abuse.

As I said. God forgives. Leave,separate,divorce, rather than stay and die spiritually in an unloving abusive union.

God doesn't take the punch to the head.

Before any woman thinks they have to remain married to an unrepentant wilful abusive sinner spouse, remember you as a Christian woman are a temple of the holy spirit.

You wouldn't stand idle if a man took a sledgehammer to a church building.
You'd call police! You'd yell for them to stop that!

Why would you then allow a man to take his fists and beat you?

If someone feels led to physically assault one they claim to love,spouse,child,pet,
they don't know what love is.



"Violence against women

In the Bible, all violence is considered an offence against God and against humanity. Scripture is full of condemnations of violence – time and again violence is associated with wickedness and condemned as “detestable to the Lord” (Psalm 11, Proverbs 3 & 10).

In particular, violence against women is condemned. In Jewish law, rape was viewed as equivalent to murder (Deut 22:26), as was pressuring a woman physically (Deut 22:25–27) or psychologically (Deut 22:28–29) into sex. The Bible recounts many stories of the horrific sexual abuse of women. In Old Testament narratives, rape is viewed as an “outrage” (nebalah) - a term which only occurs 13 times in the Old Testament and is reserved for extreme acts of violation against God and human beings, including the rapes of Dinah, Tamar, and the woman of Bethlehem.

Absolutely!
I hope he went to prison too.

You'll find Christians adamantly opposed to Divorce.

That's them. God never told us to stay yoked to an unbeliever who tries regularly to kill us.

Those type Christians arent going to be the pallbearers for the casket of that murdered wife.

Did you read what I wrote?

No one is saying that women and children should stay in a place of danger. But neither does the word of God allow for divorce for abuse. One can be both in a safe place and remain married.

Perhaps read my post more carefully. No one is saying that women and children should remain in a place of danger. But if you advocate for divorce in such situations, you should have biblical support for it. Where in scripture is divorce allowed for abuse?

But,they do not have to do so. They do not have to stay married to their abuser.

And they can also ,after Divorce,find real love and marry.

Because according to God,that woman who was unequally yoked, was not actually married in God's eyes.

God said a woman,girl,who is raped must be sold to her rapist . The rapist pays the father 40 pieces of silver. Deuteronomy 22.


Ten more pieces than what Sadducees paid Judas so he'd betray Jesus.

Will we insist that order of God be followed today?

God,I hope not.

The word of God warns believers not to be unequally yoked, but never says this is cause for divorce. It actually does say if an unbeliever wants to remain in such relationships, the believer is to remain married...1 Corinthians 7:12-13.

I read your post.

Where does scripture support your contention?

An abusive husband is an unbeliever. We are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
Therefore,that woman survivor of an abusive unbeliever is free to leave.

God does not bless those who are unequally yoked. Because he commands they not be so.

Did you read my post carefully?
God forgives.
God also knows when a woman is being near beaten to death by a coward.

Divorce the Devil. And ask God's forgiveness!
That you lived to get out is God's blessing. But don't push it. Many a wife has been buried with her wedding ring on and with a cross pendant around her neck.

One I know was also laid to rest with the, not worth the paper it was printed on restraining order she obtained against her husband.

He shot her to death as she banged on a neighbors door begging for help. Broad daylight.

No Christian woman should have to live alone, unmarried,because her first choice was a vicious Demon with two ham size fists.

That's Paul's letter to the church he founded in Corinth.
