He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.
They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.
The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
~ Psalm 18:16-20

I was married to a "pastor" for 7 years and was abused every day of my life (either emotional and/or physical)! I finally got enough courage to leave because of the safety of my daughter. She was the reason I left this narcissist monster and I'm so glad that I did!! I am a survivor and now I am blessed with a true Godly man who loves me and my daughter with a true love!!!

My husband was a pastor and I lived through HORRIBLE abuse. Shame kept me in the marriage for 16 years. So sad but I am free now❤️

If a man or woman is being abused by their spouse ,the spouse is not a true Christian.

30 years I was married to an emotional and psychologically abusive pastor. Yes he was a different person to the church. All the prayers did nothing for he didn’t think he needed to change. I finally left 11 years ago. Lots of therapy has helped me get healthy!

I am a survivor of domestic abuse.
My children are in their late 40s and deal with addictions that I believe are because of what the saw and experienced growing up.
I did not get away from my abuser until my children were in their teens.
I wish that I had the strength to leave earlier.
I was stuck in the..."tomorrow will be better" victim mode.
Frozen by fear.
The day that I decided to move forward with my life and not look back... felt like I was stepping off a cliff with total darkness and the unknown below me.
My single parent life was hard....so hard.
But, day by day the Lord gave me strength and provided for us.
Praise!

I know of 2 women in abusive marriages who became very ill. But Jesus and divorce brought recovery against the odds.

If this man was genuinely born again: 1. He would have been convicted by the holy spirit that would live in him. 2. He would love and appreciate his wife (he did not genuinely love her). 3. He would get help. Finally, this man was demon oppressed. The body of Christ must acknowledge dark evil influences and exercise power over it.

My ex-wife had Narcissistic Personality Disorder unknown to me and the abuse I experienced nearly killed me.....abuse is not gender bias

I want you to know that even when everyone else fails to love you, God loves you. No one can change that. God will never leave you nor forsake you. God will be with you always.

My pastor and mentors at my church knew of the abuse, and they still wouldn't support me when I wanted to divorce my husband. I remember being told at one point that I needed to be more forgiving. I left that church.

I completely relate to this story. Abusers are usually Narcissists who don’t change. They blame you for everything and punish you for their own faults. And yes, the abuse escalates from emotional and mental abuse to physical abuse. It is NOT easy to leave either. The abuser removes as many supports as possible so you are dependent upon them. This is my story.

If a man or woman is abusive they are not acting in any Christian manner .

You can't cure an abuser of what he chooses to do. The victim can only also escape by choice....run to safety!

My husband of 25 years put me in a chokehold. This is the third time he has physically abused me. He is in jail right now. I am praying he gets jail time so I can save up money to escape.

My Christian marriage was very similar but psychologically
our Lord sees everything and He took him away from me. My husband died unexpectedly but SAVED because in my pains, I prayed Him to save him and that I forgive everything he has done to me. During his last months, he was much kinder. How to escape from this kind of relationship?? If the victim looks at our Savior but not the human, if he does His will, then salvation will come. IT IS HARSH, I felt nailed to the cross and if it was not enough, my children were against me too, gossip from brothers and sisters as well! I wish no Christian has to go through what I have experienced!! But now, I say "Thank you LORD, for what I have been through, you cleansed me from my flesh, my spirit has been strengthen, I have more compassion for everyone, and I even see my enemies in a different way.... What I gained from all of this??? A year after my husband passed away, my middle daughter aged 30, was born again and baptized!!! Now we pray together for all the family and our cherished friends be saved BEFORE the rapture!!!
