How can the pastor call it "honor" to cover up shameful behavior that dishonors?!! In this area, satan truly has the upper hand and certainly Jesus is not pleased because He died that we all should be free of satan! His death is in vain in this area! We dishonor the Lord of Glory by leaving the abuser in the mire of this sin, and by ignoring the abused. I admire your courage! It' so sad that you had to go it alone, but really God was with you. I love what He told you about being a help meet for your husband. Praise Him!
