    Primarily, thought not exclusively, becuase of these verses:

    1 Timothy 3:2-7:

    Therefore an overseer[a] must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,[b] sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.

      ty, you’re probably right. i hope some of those women can get out. what a waste of your time and your life to always feel like you’re beneath your husband. not to mention how women in those christian sects get wrangled into marriage sometimes with a dude who is 110% okay with being domestically violent :'D
