Back to the Bible verse, my wedding vows were to love, honor and obey. The Bible says that the husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the Church. There is no evidence of Michael's love for Terri.
The above poster is correct. Much spousal abuse does not leave lasting evidence except in the heart.
The fight for Terri was predicated on the spousal abuse being easily verified. Now that it has been debunked her supporters are claiming that abuse still took place and left no marks. If we are presume husbands are guilty of abuse even when the evidence shows otherwise then our society is in deep trouble.
