1Co 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
The above scripture is perhaps what someone is looking for today......the answer...from God's Word...is all we need. The above scripture never says..that if he is beating you up ..and knocking you around that your supose to stay with him tho. It does say if he be pleased to dwell with her....for you not to leave him....but no where does it indicate for you to stay with someone who is abusing you ..in anyway...and unless it is a leading of the Lord himself...to stay ...even in abuse..then you should perhaps think about getting out of an abusive relationship, now I am not for divorce..or even seperation. Please don't misunderstand me...I am against abuse however. By the way abuse...isn't disagreement...Sometimes men go through things in their lives that we will never know about or understand..just like men don't always understand us as women...that is not a reason for divorce either. No one...the husband nor the wife should be hitting the other ...that is abuse...women can be just as abusive as men...I have seen it go both ways....in marriage each one should be doing good for the other...being for the other and not against the other..that goes even for those who are married to unsaved spouses...you did make a promise before God concering your spouse...and unless there is abuse...you should keep your promise as much as it is in you to do so. But remember...Divorce is not the unpardenable sin. So if you have divorced...rest in knowing that God is still God and he understands and even when we fail ..which we all do...He is just to forgive us our sins, everyone of them. And no I have not been divorced..I have been married for 38 years, and have had to forgive more than I can count, and get rid of pride. And yes..my husband was abusive...in every way. But, the Lord spoke to my heart for me to stay with him forgive him just as my Heavenly Father forgave me.... and walk in Love always. It isn't easy folks..but yes it was worth it..completely. Also, I have seen God work mightly in my husband's life...turning him around...and now he sees Jesus...and I see Jesus in him...God can do it folks...but it takes lots of love and trusting in the Lord. Hope this helps someone today who may wonder what the scripture says about a wife leaving her husband.
