HE HITS ME BUT I HAVE TO STAY

I've had cause to do a lot of thinking over the years about wife battering and I have made my conclusions based on some of the real life examples I saw and heard. These conclusions have remained with me for a while and I have shared them with a few people. Today, I choose to share this because of a particular case that had remained on the airwaves and print media since 2011. Last week, a verdict was given and the accused was sentenced to death by hanging. After watching his response to the verdict, I told myself that my conclusions were right after all. Again and again, these things have the same pattern, why then do we choose to remain in it?

This is my conclusion: A wife who is being battered by her husband shouldn't let it happen twice. She should leave. Leaving doesn't mean the marriage has ended, just leave that house, relocate, go somewhere else. A man who is violent has demons temporarily or permanently living in him. I can not understand why someone chooses to remain in the same house with so many demons. Leaving is for his own good too because it might make him sober enough to genuinely seek help from God. Secondly, you will save him from committing murder by leaving. If you do not leave, He will kill you unintentionally, or you will kill him in self defense unintentionally or he will throw a very pregnant you down the stairs, you will miscarry so you would have lost a child.
If he kills you, and it is proven that he had ever battered you before that day, the law says it was intentional, thus he will die by hanging. If you kill him, the law will charge you manslaughter, then you can very well spend the rest of your days in prison waiting and praying for one governor to come and offer pardon to some prisoners. Some women have become prayer points in the area of child bearing because of being battered while pregnant and are holding unto God for a miracle because the natural way has been destroyed.
A lot of women say that they stay because of their children, I say to them those children wont appreciate that when they become orphans because he killed you, or when they have to live with the knowledge of their mum in prison for killing their dad, or when our airwaves will be parading either of you for murder and they have to face their friends. Please leave that place for a while.

Finally, I think that is the responsibility of friends and families of the couple to practically drag that woman out of that house. Don't say I don't want to get involved in someone's marital problems. You will eventually get involved when any of them dies because all of you will be questioned. Some of you will have to mount the witness box. There will be no closure, no time to mourn your dead, no time to heal until the case has ended.  Then and only then will you even bury your dead (trust me, those murder cases are always prolonged).

Dear wife, he that covereth his sins will not prosper, stop saying you fell in the bath or down the stairs. Speak up so that help will come for you both. I rest my case.
