Hello Everyone,

Yesterday, I witnessed domestic violence first hand and I couldn't help, but wonder why a man will have such audacity to beat up a woman -

Why can't you talk things over?
Why can't you walk away when you are angry?
Why can't you love your spouse as thyself?

Yesterday's case was pathetic. The said lady gave birth to a cute little boy two months ago. So, she's not fully recovered from the stress and pains of pregnancy yet.

I heard, the man beats her like all the time, but I was happy with yesterday's outcome. It happened that one of his neighbors took it upon himself to get the man arrested. He reported the violence to the nearest police station and within a few minutes, they arrived and picked up the wife beater. As I write this, he is been detained in the police station.

Do you know the most painful part? The said man is a Christian. Unbelievable! I mean, how can someone who claims to be a follower of Christ beat up his wife? It doesn't add up! Believers who do such awful thing do not deserve to be called a Christian especially when it has become a norm for the individual.

The truth Is, domestic violence is evil no matter your belief. It is inhumane, horrible, and unacceptable. Although domestic violence is not limited to men. Some ladies also do the same to their spouse, but no matter the gender, it is wrong & evil.

The Bible says;

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
Ephesians 5:31

Becoming one flesh here means loving your spouse as thyself. It means, whatever you cannot do to yourself, you shouldn't do it to your spouse or anyone because the same Bible also says love your neighbor as thyself. If you & your partner become one, and you love your neighbor as thyself, then there will be no one left to hurt. And the world will be a better place.

Say no to domestic violence because it's evil
Say no to domestic violence because it's horrible
Say no to domestic violence because it's cowardly
Say no to domestic violence because it's against the principals of God

I want to use this opportunity to reach out to a lot of women passing through similar violence. Please, do not keep calm about it. Speak up! Domestic violence is not loved! You don't have to understand with him! Sometimes, it never stops because they will keep coming up with excuses and will keep apologizing. So, it's better you speak up! Do not hide it all in the name of love & shame!

Thank you for reading!
