Women in Abusive Relationships (WAR). This is the perfect name because women in abusive relationships are essentially in a WAR with the enemy every day. Just like any war there are good days and bad days, but it is a constant fight for survival. This is a battle women go through every morning when they wake up until the time they lay their heads down to sleep at night. Each WAR is different whether it is neglect (the spouse is not home much and leaves the woman open and vulnerable), physical (the spouse puts his hands on the woman, throws objects at or in the direction of the woman), emotional (the spouse constantly puts down the woman, spouse is very controlling) or a combination. All of them end up being a spiritual battle.
