To remove women survivors of intimate partner violence to a stable and theological mindsetIntroductionWife abuse is not desirable, but at times it is not inevitable. Many wife abuse incidences occur mainly in bad marriages. Domestic violence occurs to all women of all races, religions, and economic statuses, with many data showing the devastating effects of domestic violence on the wrecked women\'s lives. Men are also casualties of intimate partner violence, but women are more likely to be victims of the abuse[footnoteRef:1]. Many Christians think that abuse only occurs in non-Christians\' homes and poor marriages, but it happens to everyone. Domestic violence has been happening throughout the world for centuries, and many had considered it a family problem and not one that required intervention by the community. Many policies, statutory changes, domestic violence laws, and policies have increased due to people experiencing it worldwide. [1: Steven J Saul, The Response Of The Church To Domestic Violence, 2011]Prohibiting domestic violence has become necessary to protect victims who experience violence at their intimate partners\' hands. The criminal justice system increases the risks and punishments to the people who carry out domestic violence by creating compulsory arrests for those who carry out abuse and having restriction orders to protect the domestic abuse victims from holding them accountable for their actions[footnoteRef:2]. There is an association between people who practice mass murders and other crimes with domestic violence victims. Features such as power and control, violent occurrences of rage, aggressiveness occur in many domestic violence victims[footnoteRef:3]. Many similar characteristics found in domestic violence crimes get found in people who commit crimes such as sexual assault, damage to properties, murders, and thefts. [2: Samantha Hackbarth, An Exploratory Study Of The Prevalence Of Domestic Violence Related Criminal History And Gender Within A Sample If Inmates In Minnesota Minnesota: St. Cloud State University, 2018.] [3: Phyllis Holditch Niolon et al., \"Preventing Intimate Partner Violence Across The Lifespan: A Technical Package Of Programs, Policies, And Practices\", National Center For Injury Prevention And Control, 2017.]Wife abuse is depressing and something that most people opt not to think about it. Many people who go through such a situation believe that God has abandoned them; as Psalms 22:1-5, David asks why the Lord has left him when he cries for help; there is no response everyday night. Despite the loneliness David feels, he remembers how his ancestors who put their trust in God got saved and, due to the confidence they had in God, were not disappointed. There are many counseling options for the victims by institutions such as churches, private organizations, and treatment programs that the government has established. Companies such as National Coalition against Domestic Violence and World Health Organization help address domestic violence[footnoteRef:4]. The church tends to disregard some issues, claiming that evangelism\'s the primary focus. Church leaders\' involvement in these issues is low, and human rights get overlooked, yet many leaders face similar problems in their marriages. With the increase in the number of people who experience domestic violence, the church has stopped overlooking the issue that affects people outside the church. They have started recognizing it as an issue that affects even the church members[footnoteRef:5].

[4: Steven J Saul, The Response Of The Church To Domestic Violence, 2011] [5: Kendra Lynn Yoder and Mary Jo Neitz, Churches Addressing Domestic Violence, 2013.]Christians are not immune to abuse and can also be victims. Abuse is uncontrolled to a particular social structure, and that no matter the religious beliefs, they do not exempt anyone from being a victim. Domestic abuse is blind to age, social status, color, culture[footnoteRef:6]. The consequences of abuse…
