Statistics put out by the CDC, say 1 in 4 women have experienced domestic violence in their lifetime. One in four is a lot of women. And domestic violence doesn’t know race, religion, financial status or educational choices. It’s pretty universally spread across the board, in the human race. I know homeschooling families are affected as well. It’s just rarely talked about.

💥One of the most destructive failures of the church's handling of abuse is when the wife is expected to take the first steps toward humility, sacrifice, and service under the misguided promise that the husband will follow suit and do the same.Effectively, the wife is given the responsibility of leadership, while being expected to follow a person who isn't actually leading.
