Beleive it or not, so many women put up with domestic violence for the mere fact that they are scared to leave. It takes a strong woman to put an end to it and walk out the door, with the police 'en route' to escort him to the slammer.
I feel sorry for the women who aren't able to stand up to their abusive husbands/partners.
EDIT:
So everyone that voted in favor of leaving him gets a thumbs down.... NICE!

I don't know if there is any relation left, because I don't know all the circumstances behind the abuse. Keep in mind that it is definately abuse. I would encourage both man and woman to go to counseling. Even get some for the kids if they witnessed it. I don't reccomend that the women stay in the same house as man until counseling is done.
If he is not willing to get counseling, at that point, get out! It's not worth putting the lives of the children or the one being abused at risk.
I guess I go against the grain because I think the marriage could still be salvaged as long as a commitment is made by both parties to seek professional help.
If they do decide to go and the doctor doesn't reccomend the mother and children going back into the situation, I look at it as lives saved.
any good counselor will seek to re-establish a stable home for everyone, but if that can't be attained, then they have an obligation to the one's in danger.
Not to mention that it is documentation for the courts that one party is dangerous if it comes to divorce

For pity issues? I am unsure what you are saying. If someone gives him pity due to him hitting, then the true pity should go towards the woman that got hit.
No one deserves to be abused. There's no rationale for it. The person hitting is insecure and cannot handle this temper. There's no reason the wife should go through it. And do you think the kids don't know? Raising kids in that environment is way worse than raising kids in a split-up family.

It does not matter if he has hit you even only one time. He WILL become more and more abusive over time. Even with extensive counseling most abusers do not change sadly. I was in an abusive relationship for 14 years. It was always verbal and emotional abuse. Controlling everything! The first time he physically touched me I thought he will never do this again. I am not the kind of person who would ever stay , but guess what I did. And guess what? It happened again and again. Every time he would go a little further until I almost lost my life. Leave especially for the children. They are being hurt by this as much as you are.

A man should NEVER hit a woman and if he does he is no man he is just a bully and a lowlife. No matter what a woman has done she is the weaker sex and does not deserve to be hit. I am asked this question so many times and I always answer in the same way, Any man who hits a woman in my eyes is not an man just a low life and if he came up against a real man probably have the Sh***** knocked out of him and justly deserve it.

The woman needs to get herself and the kids away from the man soon. Before he gets violent in front of the kids or to the kids. Sure there is a relationship left. It's called her receiving child support payments from him.

I'm as likely to hit a man as I am a woman. I believe hitting is wrong and is only done by people who have given up on all other means of resolution, therefore you never hit someone you care for. You only hit someone the is your enemy.

If a man hits a woman it will not get better, he isn't going to change, even if he cries and promises he will still do it again and again and again. If a woman stays it teaches her son its alright to hit women and teaches her daughters it ok for a man to hit her.
There is no relationship left - it's time to leave!

No, there is no relationship left. Think about what your children are going through having to watch that? Watching him hit their mother, knowing that there's nothing they can do about it, that he could kill you, that they could be next... And if he's hitting you, how long before he does switch over to the kids? What are your children going to do when they wind up in relationships and all they've ever seen is abuse?
