Summary/Abstract: It is challenge to talk about violence in Christian families. Believers in whole world, like in our environment, have tendency to idealize, ideologies, and mystifies marriage and life in families. How many families take mask of holiness when they come at church meetings? What walls of houses have to say about family secrets, how much pain and sorrow is hidden in Christian families. People of faith do not want to admit that in many of families exist problems of misuse, and if even something come out than they have tendency to minima lies, denies, and ignore these problems. In that way we abuse religion and justify violence.
