The Bible teaches that God is a refuge for those who are oppressed and afflicted, including those suffering from emotional abuse. In Psalms 34:17-20, the psalmist expresses confidence in God's deliverance from troubles, while 1 Peter 3:7 emphasizes the importance of husbands treating their wives with respect and care. Ephesians 6:4 also instructs fathers not to exasperate their children, highlighting the need for gentle and nurturing relationships. Additionally, Psalms 103:6 and 2 Corinthians 6:14 remind us of God's heart for justice and His desire for believers to walk in the light, free from harmful and unequal relationships.

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all. He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.

And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace. How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives
