I am writing this post a disturbed person today. My heart is heavy and I have known no peace since yesternight. I always see stories about domestic violence all over and blankly share the posts on my facebook timeline without a thought of it happening to anyone I know. Yes the bible tells women to be submissive to their husbands, but don't confuse that and let him make you a punching bag. If he raises his hands once to hit you, the probability is that he will never change, any time he is mad or feels the need to relieve his stress he will punch you again and again.
I see stories of domestic violence all over and I wonder how many times do women need to get empowered??????? Most women get scared of leaving because they need security and protection, maybe they don't want the society to point fingers claiming how they can't keep a family, this same society will mistreat your kids after your "loving husband" punches you to death. I am calling them "loving husbands" because this is what most ladies paint them to be. Post pics on all social medias of him and claim how blessed they are hopefully wishing that is going to change him. No, it wont change him,but gives him the opportunity to punch you more since he sees how you are desperately in need of him.
Now I'm not saying that you should wash your dirty linen in public,I am saying that you should leave!!! Leave and live for your child. That son or daughter you are staying for thinking he needs a dad in his life like all other children, needs the mother too. Ever thought what will become of your child when one day you are punched to death??That aunt or uncle you want to please and make happy by staying in your abusive marriage wont bring you back to life, or maybe you are afraid of loosing all that money because you are living a luxurious life??? you can still get there through your own hard work. Yes! you can achieve that too.
Some of you are now frowning their faces thinking I am not to say a thing because I am not yet married so how do I know this?? or I am just writing because I think its easy to just pack and leave,I know its not but i know someone who is a survivor of domestic violence because of me, someone who chose to leave and live instead of all the other things that were beneficial either to me or her.
Make that right decision and say NO! to domestic violence, don't let fear control you, fear of being a failure, fear of not making it by your own. You are the one who feels the pain and put your life in danger, they don't know what happens to you behind closed doors so don't let them make you stay there.
Above all let Jesus be the center of it all, run to Him, you will never be disappointed. He guides His people through the right paths and always wants the best for them. Choose to be a domestic violence SURVIVOR and not a VICTIM.

Psssst! even if you have no child with him, the better. RUUUUUUUN.
