Verbally abusive husband

I agree what you are saying, but i dont think its that easy...its not black or white. We can bring verses from the bible and make both sides valid according to the bible. Yes, i should not be in a relationship where we are getting emotionally hurt, but the bible says that we are responsible for our other half and we can be accounted for them in front of God.
You are right......i put myself in this situation, but because i was under the impression that we want the same things. I saw many many christian marriages where they both believed that the relationship is from God (which was brought to the pastor who agreed) , but then the individuals changed and it turn out to be a disaster. Or in fact, i should say most of the time that what i saw. I still stand on the ground that i know in my heart and my soul that it was God's will..........would he put me in an abusive relationship? No! But my husband was the one who changed, who went back to his old ways and turned away from God. God will not force him to change, he has to make that step. And yeah, i have to make my step if he is not willing to change or commit himself to God again. As only he can change this situation for better. I will not waste my time any longer letting him walk all over us....trust me! At this point, i believe i did my part physically, spiritually and mentally......now its his choice.

would you please share where you found the above in scripture

Sorry...i didnt mean it like that. My mistake. There are no "specific" scripture which tell us that, but what i was gonna say is that i believe through the verses of the Bible about marriage, family and relationships that we are responsible for each other.......for our husband or for our children.

His beligerance has a root.
Most likely he was a recipient of it somewhere. (His dad?)
Then,to my untrained eye,you and your daughter trigger it.

If you want,you can do an experiment.
When he gets agitated ,backtract to what appears to trigger it and mark it down.

Another experiment would be "love bombing" ...a mothers love.
Tell him "it'll be ok,it'll be alright"

If you ever find the root,and he is willing,you can break that off of him.
He basically has to come to you for it to work.

And btw....like i told you ,interview mom about her spouse(his dad)

NO!! Absolutely not. Patting his hand and saying "there there, it'll be ok" is NOT a solution. It's just putting a band-aid on the real problem. He will expect her to say that every time, thus signifying her tolerance of his treatment..

Hi again

you are not responsible for your husband, technically, according to scripture, he is the one responsible for you and your daughter

at this point, that would be a moot concern

you can and should pray, but you are not responsible for his response to God anymore than you are responsible or to blame for his verbal abuse.

no

God is not ambivalent or double minded. He says one thing and He means it. we are the ones that fudge around when we are not comfortable with something. we make excuses but God comes along and tells us to walk in His way and renew our minds according to what is written...the Bible

you may have found some comfort in reading these responses, but none of us will be there to hold your hand if he gets going again with the abuse

the ball is actually in your court and not his

you already know what he is going to do

still concerned for YOUR welfare and your girls

...and note i said "experiment".
Not "magic fixer incantation"

...and btw,when i say love experiment i am keying off of Jesus,not enablement.
I am saying love breaks bad things.

Dave wilkerson told nicky cruze when he pulled a knife on him "i love you nicky,and if you cut me into a thousand pieces,each piece will cry out i love you"
God is a God of love.

The dynamic here is "mother bear anointing"
(Do not mess with her cub)
The daughter is the focus.

...we are not argueing,we are in a lively discussion.
I love everyone here.
We are just passionately batting the ball around lol

Yes, i agree...im not responsible for his response, but i believe i have to make sure that i do everything possible to help him to do the right things. And no, it does not mean i have to put up with his abuse. That is not acceptable. What i meant is you can find scriptures which say that you shouldn't leave your husband if he wants to stay with you or how he might be won through his wife conduct. But the bible say that he should love his wife. But what the bible says is the only valid ground for divorce is if he commit sexual immorality or adultery. But, yes, i have a right to leave him, separate....its not a sin.....i have that option. I brought up these issue with him...so now i wait what his response will be and i will act accordingly. Thank you all for the support.

Context, that scripture is about an unbelieving husband not an abusive one.

1 Peter 3:1 "Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives," - it does not say this applies only unbelieving husband. It says husband who do not obey the word.
But yeah...the other part applies to unbelieving husband.....but someone who behaves like that...i wouldn't call him believer right now. If someone believe in God, doesn't act toward his wife in an abusive matter.

hey again

even an unbeliever can be decent to his wife and if so, why would she leave?

you don't have that going on though

anyway, everybody will do what they are going to do in the end

I pray God's blessing upon you for safey and wisdom in your situation

hugs

If he's changed so much since you've married, how do you know he would never touch/hit her? You didn't think he would become emotionally abusive, so why is it such a stretch that he would become physically abusive? I don't need the answer, because I'm not married to him, but to me abuse is abuse.

Thank you! I appreciate it. God bless you!

Of course I can't say he would never....as no one can predict that. I don't think I know him anymore. But one thing for sure....if he would ever try to hit me, I would get the police involved IMMEDIATELY. And he knows that.

When you stated : I know our marriage was from God. , this is a red flag, because God does not go against his word, and he tells us in no uncertain terms to be not unequally yoked,
