See wetin Bible talk: “We go answer to God one by one, for the things wey we don do with our life.”​—Romans 14:12.

Remember this one: The person wey de suffer you go answer for the things wey e don do.

If e de blame you for the things wey e de do to suffer you, e dey wrong. God want make husband de love e wife, no be to de beat-am or suffer-am.​—Colossians 3: 19.

Sometimes, person fit de beat or de suffer e wife because e get mental sickness, or e fit be because of the kind family wey e come from, or e fit be because e de over drink. Even so, e go answer to God for the way e de treat you. And na e hand e dey to change that kind behaviour.

Something dey wey fit help you

See wetin Bible talk: “When plenty people dey wey de give advice, we go succeed.”​—Proverbs 15:22.

Remember this one: If you feel say you no dey safe or you no know wetin you go do, other people fit help you.

Why you fit need other people to help you? Many things fit dey for your mind as you de face this kind suffer. E fit hard for you to know wetin be the best thing to do because you no know which of all this points dey more important:

  • You want dey safe

  • You want wetin go benefit your children

E dey normal if you no know wetin you go do or if you just confuse. Who go fit help you?

Your friend wey you trust or your family member fit help you feel better. Even if na just to de talk to person wey really care about you, e go really go far to help you.

Some organizations get telephone numbers wey people wey their husband de beat or suffer them fit call. You fit get quick help if you call this numbers. People wey de work for this organizations fit help you plan wetin you go do to dey safe. If your husband agree say wetin e de do dey wrong and e really want change, call any of those organizations for phone, they fit help your husband to know the first steps wey e need to take.

E fit use e Word, the Bible, help you calm your heart and mind. E want make you de pray. When you pray, you fit ask Jehovah say make e give you good sense and power to manage your problem.​—Isaiah 41:10.

That kind suffer go soon end

See wetin Bible talk: “Each one of them go stay, for e own farm and under e own fig tree, and nobody go make them fear.”​—Micah 4:​4, footnote.

Remember this one: Bible don promise us say time de come for future wey everybody go get peace for e own house.

Na only Jehovah get the complete and permanent solution for all our problems. Bible promise us say: “E go wipe all the tears from their eye, and they no go die again, people no go de cry again, pain no go dey again.” (Revelation 21:4) That time, we no go de remember all the bad things wey we de face now because na good ones go don replace them. (Isaiah 65:17) Na the fine future wey God promise us for Bible be that.

a Na woman this article use as the person wey de suffer, but many of the points fit still happen to man.

b Jehovah na the name of God as Bible talk.

How you fit help person wey them de suffer-am

You know any person wey them de suffer-am for e house? Even if your work no be to handle that kind situation, you fit still help.c

Really listen and show say you care. (James 1:19) Tell the person say you dey ready to listen, but no force-am to talk. Make e know say you believe wetin e talk.​​—Proverbs 20:⁠5.

Some people wey de write about this kind problem talk say: “E de really hard for woman wey de face this kind problem to talk to you about e problem. People wey them de suffer them for their house de like to cover the problem or talk for way wey go make you feel say things no too dey bad. They no go even want tell you say problem dey at all, talk less of say they go come de form story or de lie about how them de suffer. You fit de think say e no dey possible for person wey you know to de suffer e wife or family member like that. But the way the person de behave when you dey there fit dey different from the way e de behave when you no dey there.”

Encourage the person with wetin you talk. (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Talk to the person for way wey e go feel say you really value-am. Tell-am say you care about-am. Tell-am all the fine-fine character wey e get. And say make e get help.

You fit help the person. (Proverbs 17:17) Do some things to help the person, like to help-am take care of e children for some time or cook food for them. Ask whether e don get plan to save e self incase something happen, like whether e get place wey e fit run go.

Help the person to fit trust e self to decide wetin e go do. (Galatians 6:5) Tell-am different things wey fit help and wey e fit do. But no choose for the person or tell-am the one wey e go o.

c If you be man and the person wey need this kind help na woman, the best thing na for you to tell the woman make e ask for help from any of e friends wey na woman too and wey e really trust. No too spend time alone with the woman because you want help-am.
