I have a question about this scripture:
1 Corinthian 15
15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
My husband has been verbally and emotionally abusive our entire marriage. He has gaming addiction issues and has had rage problems associated with this. Recently he turned to physical abuse and I kicked him out. The bible is pretty silent on abuse and divorce/remarriage. I have been thinking long and hard about this and have come to the conclusion that abuse IS a form of abandonment. In my husband’s case, he claims to be a believer and yet he does NOT act like a believer. Christ calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church, and died for the church. He tells husbands to love their wives as they love themselves because, biblically, they are one flesh. In the cases of abuse these men are NOT obeying God’s commandments here.
My husband refuses to admit he has any addiction or abuse issues. I have dragged him to 3 counselor the past couple years of our marriage and no progress has been made. I have done everything I possibly can to get him help and restore our marriage. If my husband refuses to ever seek help and get treatment so that our marriage can continue in a God honoring way, wouldn’t that be him abandoning me? Further since he is outright refusing to obey God, wouldn’t that essentially make him an unbelieving spouse, based on conduct alone and put us into the context of this verse?
I have tried to seek advice from the leaders of my church and all give me vague answers like “Pray about it” or “I will never advise you to get divorced”. Yes, it would be nice if my husband magically turned himself over to God and got the help he needed. This may never be reality and I just want to know if it would be abandonment if he refuses to get help and stop hurting me. Also, yes it is is 1 corinthians 7:15. I forgot the 7.

I’ll be going to college next year, and I want to study physical therapy. So far all of the Christian colleges I’ve looked up have just been pre-physical therapy. What are some schools that offer physical therapy all the way through? If there is a Christian grad school that offers it, that would be fine. Thanks!
