Ephesians 5:25-31 talks about how husbands ought to love their wives, and cherish them as their own bodies
Collosians 3:19 tells husbands again to love their wives and warns against being bitter against them
OH, and here's one of my favorite verses:
1Co 7:4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
There's more to it, but basically, Paul seems to think that men and women are equal in the marriage bed.
This is a HUGE surprise to most people, who seem to think that women are nothing but chattel in the Christian faith. Nothing could be further from the truth. Christian men were NEVER told that it was alright to beat or abuse their wives, nor were they EVER told that they had all the sexual rights over their wive's bodies. Those that think so have either never read the scriptures for themselves, or have edited out verses like these I've told you about that say something quite different.
God bless you!

We are told that "husbands should love their wives as Jesus loved the church" willing to lay down his life for her. To sacrifice out of his love for her. Ephesians 5:25
Jesus made it clear that women were not subordinate to men, but we do have different roles. This is not an excuse for anyone to subject the other.
Abuse of any kind is wrong.

25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her Ephesians 5:25
Jesus Died for us...that is the ultimate of love and sacrifice.
7In the same way you married men should live considerately with [your wives], with an [a]intelligent recognition [of the marriage relation], honoring the woman as [physically] the weaker, but [realizing that you] are joint heirs of the grace (God's unmerited favor) of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered and cut off. [Otherwise you cannot pray effectively.]1 Peter 3:7
Husbands should be tender and considerate to their wives.
No where in the bible does it allow abuse of others.
Ephesians 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Under Old Covenant law, a man who did any of these things would've been stoned to death. Look in Leviticus and Exodus.

Everyone has the right to live in this world without the threat of violence in any form. God will punish all those who hurt others no matter what gender.

So aught men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.-Ephesians 5:28.
Love one another, as I have loved you -John 15:12 sort of precludes anything bad anyways.

25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."[c] 32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

There are the 10 Commandments...... Jesus later in the NT told us to "love your neighbor as yourself"... neighbor would actually be a word meaning "everyone else besides you"
