b"If marriage is for life, then the only way out is death. Right? \\n\\nI\\u2019ve been asked that question, or a variation of it, many times. I used to wonder that question myself. \\n\\nMarriage IS for life, but not in the way you\\u2019ve been told. It\\u2019s for the sake of bringing life TO you. And when it\\u2019s destroying you instead, THERE IS A WAY OUT. \\n\\nBut the very Bible verses written to bring protection to abused women and rebuke to abusive men have been twisted and turned on their heads\\u2026until the words \\u201cfor life\\u201d are a curse and death seems like the only escape (whether his or yours). \\n\\nAllow me to right these warped words and help you fly free from your despair. \\n\\nIn this episode:\\n\\n- Why you might reconsider telling church leaders about your husband\\u2019s abusive behavior\\n- The four reasons women consider \\u201ctelling on\\u201d their husbands to church leaders (and the problems with each)\\n- The four possible responses you can expect when you report your abusive husband\\u2019s behavior to church leaders (helping the victim is the rarest)\\n- Why the \\u201cGod hates divorce\\u201d verse is COMPLETELY WRONG and what it really says\\n- The 8 things you don\\u2019t owe ANYONE (at church or otherwise) when it comes to leaving your marriage\\n- The only two things you absolutely need to get out of your marriage (and they\\u2019re available no matter your circumstances)\\n- Why wishing your abusive husband were dead doesn\\u2019t mean you\\u2019re an evil person\\n- How I went from lying on a bathroom floor wishing for death to flying free, remarried, with a new home, a new family, and an amazing job (and my story isn\\u2019t unique among Flying Free and Flying Higher survivors) \\n\\nListen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/193\\n\\nFREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
