Domestic Abuse! Part-Two.

Breakdown, but not Breakup?

All relationships will have periods of stress and friction, since we are all sinners and fall all the time! Marriages are built on vows to God and promises to each other, that couples should take seriously and stop emphasising themselves and what they want!

We can have a breakdown in a relationship, but it does not mean the end even when their is violence? Because some violence can be treated and stopped, especially by good friends around us who can intervene and advise?

In other cases things just get worse and couples have to split apart, in these case one side may face time in prison for their foolish actions? There are so many combination of factors at play in the human psyche proving that we are much more intelligent than any of the other creatures around us!

Domestic Abuse! Part-One.

Begins in the Church?

What a terrible thing to say, but this is a truth that many believers refuse to admit to at any level of counselling?

Many a minister goes home and hits his wife or husband for saying the wrong thing, looking or being friendly with you know who and so the list of failure continues while the veneer of respectability covers the cracks of keeping face!

Our society at this time in the west is very complex with relationships of every kind that are outside the confines of the Holy Scriptures! We live in a world of more self and so more sin comes with it, if people and believers would only admit these failings revival would break out everywhere!
