Ma'am, I don't understand why a "religion" would approve of you to stay in a marriage that is doing you harm. Trust me, God will not love you any less if you get out of this disruptive marriage soon as you can. You must have seen the red lights and stop signs early on in your dating relationship with this person. Yet you chose him. I don't believe a person such as himself just turned like that overnight. I believe he was always abusive like that towards you and you chose to put up with that. I don't understand why women don't use common sense when dealing with men. This is the source of their heartache. I don't understand, again I say, what legitimate religion would allow a woman to get her head bashed in time and time again for the sake of "IT". If this is the case, I strongly question this religion. This is not love. This is disruptive and hurting your progression in life. This is also common sense.
