Baptistrw, UNTIL you have been in any kind of marriage relationship, that there has been abusive involved, i think its best you keep your opinions to yourself. You DO NOT tell someone to count it all joy when there going through ABUSE, use your common sense baptistrw... If your spouse is an unbeliever what makes you think he is going to willingly go to a pastor for marriage counseling! I do agree that the bible says that the only grounds for divorce is adultrey, HOWEVER, god did give us a brain, and if someone is physically harming you, GET AWAY, FLEE, god doesnt want us to get beat up on a regular basis and be a punching bag for someone. The only thing that you can do is pray, and if the situation your in is dangerous get outta there! find somewhere else to stay. If he continues to beat you down emotionally....and you have prayed and prayed about it, and continuelsy talked to your spouse about stoping that behavior and he doesnt stop, i would find somewhere else to live until the behavior stops.. I have been in a marriage like this and abuse only esculates, i would seperate yourself from him for now and really pray about it, and seek god. he will tell you what to do
