I lived it, and you are right- a wife's voice must be respected when it comes to decisions which will change her life and that of the children.Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778796852665760660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-1061742668015573212009-04-04T07:42:00.000-07:002009-04-04T07:42:00.000-07:00Sue,leaving the fold is more common than most peop...Sue,<BR/>leaving the fold is more common than most people would believe. When I worked for a secular agency and did speaking engagements and seminars in various houses of worship (including non-Christian) I was saddened by the number of women in the non-Christian churches who would tell me they used to attend Christian churches... until they came forward about being abused and were told to submit more and that they had no recourse but to stay and try to be a better wife. So they left their abusive situations... and their churches... to find a place to feel accepted and to belong. They found them OUTSIDE the Christian church. How sad is that? It was a huge impetus for doing what I am doing now with CCADA. THIS MUST CHANGE and I believe God's heart is broken and grieved by such behavior.Kate Johnsonhttp://www.ccada.orgnoreply@blogger.com
