Yvonne Jones, A Time To Heal: The Struggles of a Battered Woman on: Sexual Abuse




  So what is sexual abuse and how can there be sexual abuse in marriage? After all God ordained sex in marriage and 1 Corinthians 7:4 says "The wife hath not power over her own body but the husband and likewise the husband also hath not power of his own body but the wife. Now what does this mean? Well I believe that in marriage, God intends for sex to be beautiful and for husbands and wives to enjoy their sexual relationship. Also that husbands and wives alike should not deny each other this intimacy for long periods of time. However, when one partner is demanding the other partner to do things that they are not comfortable with, becoming violent during sexual relations, or making you be the soul initiator as my ex-husband did. Then this becomes abuse. 
      If I didn't initiate sexual relations with him every day, he would become angry and accuse me of not loving him or wanting him, afterwards becoming violent and hitting me. This doesn't apply to marriage only, kids are learning about sex a lot earlier now than they used to and are being taught that its ok as long as you protect yourself. The sad part is they are taking it out of the parents hands and allowing the schools to issue birth control without the parents permission. . I say this if you have a job, are paying your own bills and can take responsibility for your actions and the consequences thereof, then and only then should you be given the option of birth control.
      You don't have to be an adult to be sexually abused, children are being solicited on the internet every day, kidnapped and used for human trafficking. Whether you are a child, teenager or a consenting adult, anything forced upon you against your own will is abuse.  Next, "Saying yes whether you mean it or not."
