I think that, in the West, we live in a world where the prevailing view seems to be that all that we do should be with the aim of fulfilling our own needs and desires. I think, if marriage is viewed in that way, it is in real danger of failing; if we marry to fulfill ourselves, I believe, we are making a mistake.

Separate physically of course if they are in danger. Perhaps even without their spouse knowing where they live.
 
A woman should not be able to be manipulated financially by her abuser
 
It’s a way better response than staying with your abuser. And married people can ruin someone financially
 
It is good and important to identify what abuse is. Many times today abuse can mean just not getting our way in a marriage or having arguments in a marriage. Arguments happen and marriage is give and take but in physical abuse a woman definitely needs to protect herself

Abuse means abuse. I don’t need to clarify. Stop trying to defend physical abuse or emotional abuse

It’s not okay to be called names or be yelled at or embarrassed in public or to be put down constantly. I’m talking about abuse

I’m not defending physical or emotional abuse at all. ???

I do know of those who have divorced because when they didn’t get what they wanted or needed to sacrifice something and because of those reasons they said they were abused. They divorced and created more problems for themselves and their family, which is the only reason for my comment because it is common.

It is not okay to be called names or yelled at anywhere, anytime, though at times yelling does happen in families.

I’m sorry if what I said was offensive or sounded minimalizing, but that is waaaay far away from what I meant. 😟

It doesn’t solve the problem, but it makes it easier. Which is why the church recognizes that sometimes it’s necessary for one to leave to protect kids or self.

Yea, 3/day is rare

Heart disease kills over 1,700 every day
Accidents and strokes each kill over 400/day
Even Kidney disease kills over 130 every single day.

Statistics require context to be relevant.

Most divorces aren’t because of abuse, though the partners may get verbally abusive near the end
 

Domestic violence is not rare. I said 3 DIE from it a day. Many more DON’T DIE from it.
Here are some statistics:
  • On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.1
  • 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.1
  • 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.1
  • 1 in 7 women and 1 in 18 men have been stalked by an intimate partner during their lifetime to the point in which they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed.1
  • On a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.9
 
Please stop inferring people don’t think domestic violence is a problem just because they disagree with you on points you make.

I also thinks is too complicated to take a phone survey and extrapolate nationally.

And I’m not ignorant on the topic. I’ve been trained and work with teens brought in on DV charges, many of whom were victims themselves of some form of abuse.
