I don’t want to make the same mistake she made. I want to raise my kids in a home without violence and abuse. But I will not go down without a fight. I will do everything in my power to save this marriage, not just sit around and hope for it to grow and improve.

You're kidding yourself. Your husband didn't get anything out of counseling. He will not change. The one who needs to change is YOU by deciding this is NOT OK and to leave. If you do not want your children to grow up in a house of violence and abuse, then you should leave him and go to your parents' house.
Your husband's mother, by staying, taught your husband it is OK and acceptable to hit women. He thinks it is OK. He will continue to hit you. Your husband will continue to mistreat you, he will continue to hit you, and he will probably do far worse, as time goes on. Lie, cheat, and do whatever he pleases, all the while, abusing and mistreating YOU, while your children watch and witness everything.
