I have been reading the posts on the "divorce" stories on this website for the past two days. I now understand why so many in this world hate the church. I have not been to church for two years because of people like you. It has been wonderful, I see God leading my life like He never could before. Anyone can throw out scripture and try to sound intelligent, but where is the Christlike attitude that people can actually respect? I stayed in a bad marriage for too long because I listened to ignorant people who insisted that if I was more submissive my marriage would improve. He never cheated on me, so should I still be with him? How many women are murdered by their husbands because no one supports them, and they have no one to turn to? It's time to stop judging the women in the church for being brave enough to take care of themselves and their children. These women need support and compassion, not judgement. I was lucky enough to have people support me with the hardest decision I ever made (unfortunately it wasn't my church). Believe me, no one ends a marriage without a lot of thought and prayer.
