Married to King Saul

by Nathalie Elvire Gaillot

Overview

The Old Testament recounts the story of King Saul, a charismatic and righteous man chosen by God to be king over his people. Though favored by God, Saul turns rebellious and mad, driven by an obsession to kill his most loyal and faithful servant, David, who doesn't stop honoring Saul. Like David, Marine finds herself loving and fearing a man who is set over her to guide and protect her. Like King Saul, her husband Loammi turns from a charming leader to a rebellious, mad, narcissistic, and victim-playing abuser. This is my story, mirrored in the Word of God, providing me with answers I have sought for years and helping me understand what was wrong with my husband, as I walked as a child of God praying for a miracle to heal our abusive marriage. This book is for all the women who know the pain of domestic abuse and seek to understand what a loving wife, a partner, should do. As I share my story, my hope is to encourage you to search your unique story and answers in the Bible.
