Umoh stressed that people should not “condone domestic violence from your wife or husband”.
In a series of tweets, she suggested victims should leave, noting: “Well, I imagine God doesn’t rejoice over a marriage ending, but do you think God is okay with you being abused and living without love?”

According to her, “God doesn’t hate divorce more than God adores you”.

The only thing you owe violent people is to see and respect their humanity in ways they refuse for others. But you are not required to see their anger as acceptable. You don’t owe violent people love — ever. It’s not love.
And maybe it’s worthy of note that even the best man asked angel “what did you do to him, why is he upset?” Well, the mc called and music roared and everyone walked in like nothing had happened. Couple danced from the entrance to podium. Cycle of domestic violence
Please don’t ask me what I did. I did absolutely Nothing! Their parents witnessed the slapping ceremony…. some of their family members did too. I went home. I had a migraine. I don’t want to attend any weddings for a bit again. I will send my gift.
For those who insist on living with domestically violent partners. Well, I imagine God doesn’t rejoice over a marriage ending, but do you think God is okay with you being abused and living without love? Do you believe it’s possible that God might hate that even more?

I’ve seen the way organized religion can tend to nurture abuse instead of eliminating it, especially for Christian women. When someone like her finally summons the courage to share the depths of their suffering with the Church, they often find themselves sometimes sitting in front of an all-too familiar religious Patriarchal trope, she is given the full burden of martial reconciliation, instructed to be more patient, to make herself more attractive, to be more sexually open, to be more tolerant, to consider her children.

In other words, she is completely saddled with the guilt of staying in something that may be incredibly dangerous and painful in order to please God. I don’t believe that Marriage as an institution is itself sacred. It is in its purest and truest sense, a contract, a covenant.
There isn’t anything magical or spiritual. I believe a marriage is made sacred when two people give the best of themselves, when they sacrifice for one another, when they are mutually invested in the union. That is what makes it holy. If there’s magic, this is where it lives.

The vows that a couple make to one another are serious and important, but they are also conditional. They are promises made with the expectation of reciprocity. In other words, they are contingent on the other’s full partnership.
The idea of “two becoming one” only really works when each of those two people are willingly carrying equal weight of their relationship. Those wedding day for better or for worse promises are made with this agreement as a given, and when that fails to be true the marriage covenant is already in default.

Divorce is sad and it’s tragic and it is devastating for everyone involved—but it isn’t a sin. More than that, sometimes it isn’t any more God-honoring for a person of faith to stay in an abusive, dangerous, loveless marriage than it is to walk away from it. In fact, that may be the most faith-affirming thing one can do. Among Jesus’ greatest commandments for his people is that we are to love others as we love ourselves. In this way, our greatest act of self-love may be to remove ourselves from harm’s way.

God’s heart for us is abundant life and that sometimes means Plan B. Human, if you’re struggling in your marriage right now, there’s no one who can tell you when you’ve done enough, when you’ve endured enough, when you’ve exhausted all your options to save it.

You should absolutely do all that you can to preserve and heal and sustain that union. Work, pray, sweat, and sacrifice for it. But ultimately, there may come a day when you do need to leave for your safety, for your sanity, or simply to embrace the good that God desires for you in this short time here.

And along with the crushing weight of sadness and grief and disappointment that would certainly come with this realization, the biggest mistake would be to also place upon your aching, weary shoulders the disapproval of God.
A man I admire – Pastor John always reminds couples… God knows the Hell you’ve been through more than anyone. Hear this truth, Beloved: God doesn’t hate divorce more than God adores you. Be encouraged. Don’t condone domestic violence from your wife or husband.
