The marriage of Prophetess Juanita Bynum and Bishop Thomas Weeks III is over. Juanita Bynum told an Atlanta’s Fox 5 that last month’s alleged attack wasn’t the first time the couple has had problems.

She said she loves her husband but she is finished with what she called an abusive marriage. She confessed she thought the routine heated arguments in their marriage were normal initially.

She said she gave her attorney the go-ahead for divorce proceedings last week. Bishop Thomas Weeks is accused of beating Juanita Bynum in an Atlanta hotel parking lot on August 21.

Juanita Bynum told the station that this wasn’t the first time they had a physical altercation but it had never been to this degree – only pushing and shoving. She said he had never physically drawn a fist back and hit her.

Juanita Bynum said she will assist prosecutors with the aggravated assault case but she could not pass judgment on whether Bishop Thomas Weeks should go to jail. She believes he still has redeeming qualities.

She said she doesn’t believe her love for her husband will ever die and she thinks she could marry him twice — but this one is over. She said he’s a brilliant man and she believes God will get that purpose out of his life.
