Beautiful veteran actress and evangelist, Liz Benson has stated that it is better to quit your marriage when the union becomes excessively violent .
Benson made this known while responding to questions about divorce and child sex education on ‘Mercy’s Menu’, a talk-and-cook show hosted by Mercy Johnson.
She noted that though marriage has its challenges, It is better to leave and be alive while trying to salvage a union marked by violence .
“You would have to take into cognizance what had been before the marriage, the events that have unfolded before the marriage. When you add them up to that point in the union and it doesn’t yield positive signs, then I think you have to call it a day,” the veteran actress said.
“Some would ask ‘Why is she talking like that? Marriage is supposed to be for better than for worse.’ Yes, for better for worse. But, when certain things come into play — violence that cannot be cultured or stopped. Then I think it’s better to get out, stay somewhere and be alive than to be in there and lose your life.”
Asked to share her views on feminism, she :“I’m not a feminist. But I believe in the woman that I’m. I believe have an inner mental ability that the other doesn’t have. I build on it, live with it and progress in it. Just be yourself and you wouldn’t need words like feminist and feminism,” she added.
“It’s not unwise for women to make many sacrifices in marriage. It’s only that we feel sometimes underappreciated. If you catch your spouse committing something, the next step is not to call it quits but you’re going to draw that power inside of this and treat it in a wiser way, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.”
