Question:
Bishop, I’ve been through many problems in my marriage. My husband is alcoholic, and he beats me up whenever he gets home drunk. I’m so bitter about the whole situation that I have even considered filing for divorce. Apart from beating me up frequently, he also cheats on me. Is it a sin to divorce him? I can’t bear it anymore.

Answer:
Joana,
God does not approve of divorce. But, because many people no longer value marriage nowadays, God teaches us that in case of adultery, either the wife or the husband can file for divorce.

I cannot advise you to divorce, for it’s a personal decision, which depends entirely on your faith. However, I think your life is at risk because of your violent and unfaithful husband. Apart from the violence, there is also the possibility of him transmitting diseases to you.

Use your intelligent faith!
