  1. In this day and age. Who dies because of marriage? Jesus is my everything not a man, not a husband, not marriage. This story really annoys me. Women should learn to put God first and learn to value themselves.

  2. to all the abused women, it's also your fault, if you let a animal called man abuse you, he will, because the heart of a man is desperate wicked, you can't take abuse in the name of" love " or submission, that's not submission, it's stupidity ,you don't have to share your marriage issues with a third party but violence, violence, it has to stop by you sharing, like we see in this movie, she clearly allowed him to do whatever and he got comfortable with it , jobless and cheater too ,yeah okay

  3. the exemple of osinatchi should open everyone eyes, she lost her life in the hands of an animal called husband, I'm waiting for that man doing this to my daughter, not born yet ,I'm not saying disagreements or fights can't happen but this type of abuse nah ,that's wickedness

  4. Daughters should be trained to know that the love of a man cant be bought. Imagine praying for her husband to love her. Its a wrong prayer point.
    Instead ask God to save his soul from hell. Other things can follow

  5. Can women learn to love God but endeavor and strive to hear from God?
    I can't imagine not hearing from God in a situation like this. It's dangerous. Learn to hear from God. He speaks and will always speak. For a sensitive spiritual person, you must have seen even that strange woman in a dream.

  6. Movies like these should not be put up again, especially where it encourages the woman to endure and be silent. The moment the man lay hands on you as a woman, and you keep bearing it, you as a woman will only be teaching your son to be a beater and your daughter to enjoy been beating and abused in her marriage

  7. The leaders are wrong not respecting the decisions of the wife when she said she want to step down but rather the leaders was expecting a positive response from the husband
    This is wrong, next is the quoting of Ephesians 5.

  8. I am getting tired of these storylines. So there are women who surrender themselves to beating and abuse even when they are smart, intelligent and making money? What exactly is the motivation for this level of compliance? Something wey I go raise hand for that church meeting inform everybody so they will rescue me if I can't beat him up by myself?

    Abeg o. Anyway, like they say, these abusers choose their victims carefully.

  9. Wow… this is a top-notch Christian movie. The detailed scenes of abuse were so intense that I suspected it may have been inspired by real-life experiences and then I saw it at the end that it was actually inspired.

    I loved the twist at the scene when Samson and Hannah returned home from the church meeting. I was almost writing my disagreement comment with that “sudden” change in Samson.

    As in, how do we get to see the detailed scene-by-scene of Samson battering his wife and traumatising his children, yet we are not given even two or three intentional scenes showing where his hardened heart actually melted? From sharing ₦2 million with his cohorts, to receiving a surprise announcement at the church meeting about the ₦800,000 his wife had given, and then suddenly he returns home broken?

    I knew something major was missing, but I relaxed when the story returned to the normal sequence 😁 Well done for that👍

    There are many lessons from this movie, but I’ll mention FOUR:

    1. Hannah’s statement about not wanting her children to grow up without their father reflects a typical mistake many victims make. They forget that those same children will later live (a traumatised life) without their mother. Children raised in violent homes are not “better off” simply because both parents are present. Abuse scars them silently and deeply.

    2. Yes, I hate divorce just as God hates it. But God also hates violence. Scripture talks about the six and seven things the Lord hates in Proverbs 6:16–19 (a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil and false witnesses). So, believers should not be quick to tell victims, “God hates divorce,” without first listening, asking questions, and discerning wisely. I felt like"touching" that Mummy G.O when she asked Hannah to say a resounding amen. I was like…😁

    3. We must be sensitive when people make statements about abuse, domestic violence, or divorce. That is when "be slow to speak" should be applied. I honestly wondered why the G.O. didn’t notice the scar on Hannah’s face when she came to resign as Sunday School teacher. Also her mum

    4. Friends and family of victims are not totally helpless. There are safe and verified ways to help, even when victims don't seem ready. Abuse can be reported anonymously to appropriate agencies and initiatives that are trained to take it up from there. It painted me watching Hannah’s friends and family helpless. Nobody should kpai from domestic violence. We can all help.

    I would have loved to really see the efforts of the counsellor in handling this. That's one position that could have helped Hannah. This is why marriage counsellors need to be professionally trained and not just because they're married.

    God bless the CAST and CREW of this beautifully written movie. I hope this movie goes viral among believers, especially within Christian homes and churches, to awaken us to the real and present danger of domestic violence.

  10. That lady was more than a submissive wife. If only she sacrificed so much for someone more deserving.
    Lord help us to be indeed this submissive to our husbands and to be a good example to the church and all.
    Let us seek your wisdom and counsel for our marriage and not just make decisions that will affect us adversely.

  11. Very sad but reality in our today's lives,why is it that its the woman who should make sure the home is standing failure to that she's blamed for not doing so even when the man is in the wrong, where in the bible is written even when death is knocking on your door you still have to hold on because God hates divorce

  12. It is always the one's that hide abuse that end up dying. You cannot not love your life. You cannot allow someone to come and kill you in the name of marriage. So sad.
    I no dey cover nonsense! What happen to trumpet 🎺

  13. what an eye opening movie.I like the way the characters have performed their respective roles.I need clarification on the last part of the movie please.Does Samson actually change and embrace a new and happy marriage life or is this just an imagination in Hannah's mind?Does Samson actually kill his wife in the film and rots in jail or is it also an imagination?l need answers please.

  14. This issue in church where they think that a man has to die because of "God hates divorce" ehh God hates divorce not the divorcée
    If man beats you a beg gather all people family and friends and church people I refuse to die in silence

  15. Oh I wish I could like this movie over a hundred times on YouTube! Honestly, these are practical experiences of many kingdom-relevant women in church! My God! Many people have the tendency to feel threatened by another's success especially when the success rate is in geometric progression compared to theirs. But as believers, we shouldn't yield to that urge, we're to mortify it rather. Deacon Samson obviously didn't know Jesus but was being ordained. It's understandable how he could be a puppet in the hand of the devil while still bearing the church title! I mean, this is so disheartening!

    I saw this movie yesterday and was so enbittered at how insensitive church leaders can be in the face of a life and death situation in marriage! I mean, it's just so cruel! To even think that Mrs Samson herself couldn't discern that the marriage could eventually turnout to be her burial ground especially when she discovered that her own supposed husband poisoned her! Jesus! May I not be blind to what's threatening my life! She was more concerned with protecting the church titles! What a pity! The stigma of wives submit yourselves to your own husbands have been grossly abused in the Christiandom. I mean, how will Mummy GO shut Mrs Samson up just at the hearing of divorce? 😢😢😢 She could have at least calmed down and hear what the woman was trying to communicate beyond words! Hmmnn…I already presumed Mrs Samson would die in that marriage with the way things were going and worse still, she keeping everything to herself and refusing to be separated from the demon she called her husband. I mean, no woman (even unbeliever) deserves this kind of treatment from her own husband. What?!
    My heart goes to everyone in one toxic marriage or the other, that the light and wisdom to salvage the situation before things get out of hand is released upon them in Jesus' Name!

    Thank you to this wonderful ministry for a brilliant and enlightening movie as this. Kudos to the cast! Especially my very own person – Mr Samson himself – Brother Philip Oyeleye. God bless everyone who has contributed to the production of this great and inspiring movie in Jesus' Name! 🎉

  16. I couldn't understand the sudden twist. I thought Samson has really changed, then the relocation preparation. What now happened at Hannah's mother's house when Hannah was instructed to go do the cooking. Then came the battering and violence meted again on Hannah. I couldn't just get to understand those sudden twists in the movie.
    Anyway lessons have been learned

  17. The Wife had right to leave her husband because he was an adulterer! Key Scriptural Grounds for Divorce
    Sexual Immorality ("Exception Clause"): Jesus states that divorce is permitted if a spouse engages in sexual immorality (porneia), which includes adultery, fornication, and other sexual sins, as noted in Matthew 19:9 and Matthew 5:31-32.
    Abandonment by an Unbeliever: In 1 Corinthians 7:15, Paul permits a believer to divorce if their unbelieving spouse abandons the marriage, stating the believer is "not bound in such circumstances".
