Is Your Daddy Treating Your Mommy Right? Or Is He Cheating And Abusing Her? Are you hurting really bad because you don't think your mother deserves such dirty treatment, but pressured to keep your mouth shut and not say a word?
Trust me! I personally understand!
Good male examples and role models are very, very, very, very HARD to find around St. Kitts and Nevis, the wider Caribbean and the world now a days. Why is that so? Many males tend to want to play MACHO and feel that the BIBLE - God's authoritative instructions is out of date and out of touch and therefore follow their own path and leave GOD out of the picture until TRAGEDY STRIKES and they run coming back to HIM (GOD) for help like puppy dogs.
Before I delve any further into letting you know what is on my mind this Emancipation 2015 Holiday in St. Kitts and Nevis, permit to share a few scriptures with you. I do not intend to discuss them in depth, as each would take an entire article. I just wanted to RE-PLANT them in your minds so that you never forget what God's word says above MARRIAGE AND LOVE.
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Proverbs 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
There are many, many, many contributing factors to the issue of domestic violence, non support for children and marital or relationship abuse on both ends (Husband abusing wife and wife abusing husbands, or boyfriend abusing girlfriend and girlfriend abusing boyfriend.)
It is a two part problem. Global individuals are failing to follow The Apostle Paul's instructions to the church at Ephesus in Ephesians 5:25, which is still very much current and applicable for today.
1. People are running away from marriage because they look around and see so many divorces and marital problems and shy away into living a common law relationship when the Bible promotes MARRIAGE (MAN TO WOMAN AND NOT MAN TO MAN) and also promotes HUSBANDS LOVING THEIR WIVES.
2. There is a WARPED THINKING about what love is. What is LOVE though? Really? What is love? Is love SEX? Is love material things? Is love joining with someone to get your papers to another country or get their house and assets? What is love? Paul recommends that COUPLES ARE TO LOVE as CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT. Therefore, love CAN NEVER be any of the aforementioned.
LOVE SHOULD BE AS REAL AS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS. Are we seeing it today? Are you willing to die for your husband or wife or girl friend or boy friend? Don't let them know that you read this, go and ask them and see what they would say.
Ill treatment and abuse comes because many times fresh love is built on fantasy and gifts and sweet words and MONEY and not on GOD. When those things are not readily available, ATTITUDES CHANGE - RELATIONSHIPS CHANGE and then we see whether it was really for the LOVE or for the THINGS or just for the money.
Then, there are those men who like to have MULTIPLE WOMEN at one time and those women who like to have MULTIPLE MEN at one time. What is definitely a SHOCKER too, is that some of these husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends have MULTIPLE PARTNERS right in front of their children and then TRY TO CORRECT THEM AND TELL THEM TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT?
FOOLISHNESS! NONSENSE! LUDICROUS!
This boils right back down to the question at the beginning of the article. Is Your Daddy Treating Your Mommy Right? Or Is He Cheating And Abusing Her?
As I close, before many guilty women start getting full of themselves, let me reverse the very same question and ask. IS YOUR MOMMY TREATING YOUR DADDY RIGHT OR IS SHE CHEATING AND ABUSING YOUR DADDY?
As life would have it, sometimes we grow up in environments and see things that do not promote general well being, love and good relationships. When this is the case, we have to set in our minds to DARE TO BE DIFFERENT and BE A LIGHTHOUSE FOR JESUS by choosing to trod the opposite path to your abusive father or mother, all in an effort to create a BETTER FUTURE GENERATION - A HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS FUTURE GENERATION where love and marriage begin to WORK AGAIN.
Breaking the cycle of ill treatment and abuse depends on YOU and I! WE CAN DO IT! YES WE CAN!
