According to Catholicism, how can Catholics be faithful to an abusive spouse?

Upvote:3

In the case of someone with dementia or other mental failure beyond their control, the faithful spouse should seek aid for their spouse. This could mean they need to be placed in a home, for the safety of everyone involved, or it could mean that assisted living is required. This will all depend on severity.

Some Saints, like Saint Rita for instance, give us an example of spouses enduring abuse and ultimately converting their spouses through prayer. However, the Church permits civil separation for the sake of safety if one spouse is physically abusive. Divorce, and especially remarriage, are never permitted.

In both cases, a faithful spouse would pray for the safety and sanctity of their spouse.
