If that is the case then there's a few things to ask yourself. If you were this person, what would you think would be the best thing for you do to for the other's sake? Also if what would be the most loving thing you could do for the abusive person's sake? Is it to let them continue on in their destructive path or is it to do whatever you can to make them stop going down that path even if it means leaving them? Ultimately loving the person in light of their true self as seeing God within them is a deeper and more powerful love than any other love that hasn't been transformed by this truth so perhaps the love of neighbor without marriage is the deepest love possible in this relationship?
