just once, even if a husband hits a wife just once, no matter how slight it would be, my advice is to split the union at once. this is the advice of a priest, a canon lawyer who used to be one of 3 priests in the archdiocese of cebu who decide on matters of marriage annulment. let a husband beat a wife once, and by jove he will do it again and again. once a beater, always a beater.
Internal aggression and anger is also a symptom of unreleased intrapsychic tension. I would counsel the individual who is the physical abuser to undergo counseling prior to marriage. It is important to identify this , to make necessary behavioral modification prior to marriage and having children. It would be detrimental for the children to grow up to witness the physical abuse of their mother by their father, let alone, their father abusing them.
This is not healthy for children, and they are more than likely to develop social and behavioral problems later in life because of this.
