"Abuse destroys the sanctity of marriage. Abuse breaks the sacred vows to love, honor and cherish ones spouse. It is complete abandonment of Gods will for the union he created between two people and it is like a slap in the face of a God, who intended marriage to be a place that mirrors His love for us, not a place of bondage and fear. Leaving an abusive marriage is NOT against Gods will. Abusing your spouse is."

Abuse is not about love or hate. It is about inner insecurities and control. Sometimes it is so insidious that you do not even know it is abuse. You try harder and harder to please.

Leaving an abusive marriage is common sense. Abusers not only abuse their spouse. They abuse the essence of marriage.

Thank you for posting this. It is a good reminder for me why I divorced.
