Wife of Preacher Shoots, Kills Him, Recounts Years of Physical and Sexual Abuse – So Much for the Equally Yoked Teaching and the Notion that Christian married sex is Mind Blowing
Christians tell you that you must marry only another Christian. They base this on only one or two very brief sentences in the New Testament that talk about not being yoked to an unbeliever.
Christians also offer up propaganda telling people if they wait until marriage to have sex, that the sex will be frequent and “mind blowing.”
Well, check out this 2007 news story (at Clergy Gone Wild) of a woman married to a Christian preacher:

- August 2007
CNN – After spending a total of seven months in custody, the Tennessee woman who fatally shot her preacher husband in the back was released on Tuesday, her lawyer told CNN.
Mary Winkler, a 33-year-old mother of three girls, was freed from a Tennessee mental health facility where she was treated for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, lawyer Steve Farese said.
… But on the stand, Mary Winkler described a hellish 10-year marriage during which, she said, her husband struck her, screamed at her, criticized her and blamed her when things went wrong.
She said he made her watch pornography and wear “slutty” costumes for sex, and that he forced her to submit to sex acts that made her uncomfortable.
She testified she pointed the shotgun at her husband during an argument to force him to talk through their problems, and “something went off.”
So. Let me see if I understand correctly.
If I stay a virgin until marriage and marry a Christian man (and a preacher, no less!), I can look forward to being sexually exploited, sexually humiliated, raped, forced to dress like a “slut,” forced to view pornography, on top of being verbally and physically abused? Gee, no thank you.
