One of the most common misconceptions that Christian women believe today is that they are Biblically required to stay in a marriage where they are being emotionally, verbally, psychologically, physically, sexually, and/or financially abused by their husband. However, Biblically, this is not true. So in today's episode, I am going to be sharing my story about how God led me to leave my abusive ex-husband.

The differences in you and your future husband's purpose and life goals can be easily dismissed through overspiritualization and overromanticization. However, these things matter greatly when deciding whether or not to get married. In today's episode we will be discussing why these topics should not be overlooked.
