Domestic Violence

Experts estimate that 1-in-3 women suffer from some form of violence from a husband, boyfriend, or relative. Any form of abuse is a flagrant violation of the marriage vows, "to have and to hold from this day forward, to love and to cherish, 'til death do us part." And although such abuse is too frequently behind closed doors, it is blatantly in the open before the eyes of the Lord.

God designed the marriage relationship to benefit one another. He intended married couples to love, honor, and cherish each other all the days of their lives, but life doesn't always turn out that way. In some relationships, cruelty has replaced the sacred relationship defined by God. The Domestic Violence mini-book outlines a Christian approach to help you identify and stop physical and emotional abuse.
