Where's the article on "The Sin of Spousal Abuse"?
Oh, on the bottom of the pile of pamphlets instructing you to offer up the abuse to God, and Christian Martyrdom 101.
The author of the article should remember, "judge not, lest ye be judged yourself"...
I was actually told by some "Christians" to stay with someone who was beating me to a pulp because under "the law" the only two reasons for divorce were "abandonment" and "infidelity". This to me is a matter of symantics....divorce is allowable if your spouse slips up and has sex with someone else for one night but if they use you as a punching bag for months, it's a sin if you divorce him. To me, abandonment doesn't have to be physical. Emotional abandonment is just as valid....If they are beating you up, you bet they've abandoned you emotionally!
