I'm sorry, but if I had the church to say that it was my fault that my husband was treating me this way, I'd be upset. I cannot and WILL NOT submit unto a man who is even emotionally abusive. As a Christian woman, I'm upset when the church will not do anything about domestic violence. I have witnessed the injustice of the church, especially when it comes down to the woman. I don't care if it's verbal or emotional, get out!

he said he was abuser that is hero for me....But this lady did not say anything that she been bad to him only showing self focus, that is wirrise when some one been bad but not reallize that what he or she have been done to others, problem in this vdo could came from a man or a woman or even came from both side we dont know, so many people nice and looking good in the public but at home really useless, so we don't really know the true back ground of this couple, we are watching drama.

God have structure of marride life for human two people man and woman only no other sex (others are sick or who are been abuse). FOR A WOMAN must really compleat to respect her husband, FOR A MAN must compleat to love his wife, both side must do they roll than marride will be balance not only one side other wise marride life will stumble alots or els get ready collapse.
