“Devoted Christians suffer abusive marriages mostly coz they don’t believe in divorce bcos they preach against it. To them….it will get better and won’t last forever until they die inside the abusive marriage.
“Dear women, learn to dust yourself and move out from anything called abusive marriage. Marriage isn’t a do-or-die affair. Stop suffering and smiling. What people will say shouldn’t make you die inside nonsense. Who you marry should be better than the marriage itself,” wrote Betty Bayo.
