Their pastor, my abuser: 14 years in living hell married to man of God

When Joan Aluse met her then-husband in the year 2000, all looked rosy, he was an evangelist, and, having grown up in church, Aluse felt like all was falling into place.

After two years of courtship, Aluse married him in 2002. Fourteen years later, she rues that decision; he was a pastor, evangelist and man of God in church, but an abuser behind the curtains when dusk dawned.
