The Bible consistently upholds love, peace, and respect within the home, especially in marriage. Domestic violence goes against God’s design for relationships, where spouses are called to care for one another with kindness and selflessness.
Ephesians 5:25 teaches, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.”
This kind of sacrificial love leaves no room for harm, abuse, or control.
Scripture also condemns anger, cruelty, and harmful behavior.
Colossians 3:19 says, “Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”
Violence in the home reflects a heart that is not aligned with God’s Spirit, which produces love, patience, and gentleness. The Bible calls believers to reject sinful actions that hurt others and to pursue peace in all relationships.
