"From another side, we can speak to God’s design for marriage. A husband’s model for how to treat his wife is Jesus, who laid down his life for his bride, the church. Thus, abusing his wife should never even enter the mind of a husband, for he is supposed to be prepared, at all times and in every situation, to sacrifice himself for the well-being of his wife." So few point to what the Bible tells husbands to do. To "hear" it on another site is refreshing indeed. If Christian husbands actually lived this, they would revolutionize marriage and women would be flocking to churches to be blessed with a love like that.

Telling wifes to be more submissive and be a better wife will stop your husband from abusing you is used way to often among others. Crosswalk recently did an article about the bad advice alot of churches have given out: http://www.crosswalk.com/marriage/11602500/ Its quite heart breaking to those christian homes riddled with abuse. I'm glad your church decided to take stand, and hope that you hook up with your local domestic violence shelter. They are always looking for 'safe' churches to help those families of faith struggling with this - esplly when their own churches choose not to hold parties accountable, etc. Its truly heart breaking how many there are out there that just don't get it. DV Shelters can't always help in this area of faith, and yet realize how important it is to those they are helping. They are always searching to find churches to help those families that need the spiritual guidance they may not be able to give.
