In this sober and pastoral response, Pastor Mike addresses a serious and sensitive question: whether pinning a spouse down on a bed constitutes physical assault, and what steps should follow. He explains that assault is still assault regardless of apologies, while also emphasizing the importance of repentance, safety, and discernment. Pastor Mike discusses the biblical role of government in addressing wrongdoing (Romans 13), the difference between repentance and legal accountability, and the wisdom of involving pastors, trusted family members, and—when necessary—law enforcement. This answer prioritizes personal safety, biblical clarity, and practical wisdom for navigating domestic violence concerns within marriage.
