Un artículo de estudio de diciembre de 2018, al tratar el caso de un esposo que 'might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger', decía que algunos cristianos en esa situación han decidido que la separación es necesaria, pero que 'other Christians in comparably difficult situations have not; they have endured and tried to work at improving matters'. El párrafo siguiente expone la razón para quedarse y añade que quienes permanecieron 'can testify that doing so was worthwhile in a special sense when their mate became a true worshipper'.

Un artículo de estudio de diciembre de 2018, al tratar el caso de un esposo que 'might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger', decía que algunos cristianos en esa situación han decidido que la separación es necesaria, pero que 'other Christians in comparably difficult situations have not; they have endured and tried to work at improving matters'.

La posición de la organización o su explicación posterior: El mismo conjunto de enseñanzas afirma que la separación en un caso así es una decisión personal sobre la que nadie debe ejercer presión, y que un hombre violento puede ser expulsado de la congregación.

“He might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger. He might refuse to support her and the family or severely endanger her spirituality. In such cases, some Christians have personally decided that, despite what he might say, the mate is not “agreeable to staying” together and that a separation is necessary. But other Christians in comparably difficult situations have not; they have endured and tried to work at improving matters.”

A study article on divorce and separation. It states that sexual immorality is the only ground on which a divorce frees a person to remarry, and then turns to separation where a husband is an unbeliever. The paragraph after the one quoted gives the reason for staying: 'Many loyal Christians have remained with an unbelieving mate under very trying circumstances. They can testify that doing so was worthwhile in a special sense when their mate became a true worshipper.'

Nota de procedencia y verificación

Nota de confianza. The full article was fetched from the Watchtower Online Library on 19 September 2026 and read; paragraphs 17 and 18 fall after the library's page marker for page 14. The citation line inside the document reads 'w18 December pp. 10-14'.

Notes. Two details in the version of this article that circulates on secondary sites do not match the published text. The sentences 'What of her material and sexual needs? What about loneliness? Are there children to consider? Would a divorce make it harder to raise them in the truth?' are on p. 13 in paragraph 11, not on p. 12, and in the article they describe an innocent wife who has scriptural grounds to divorce an immoral husband and chooses not to, not a wife deciding whether to leave a violent husband — although paragraph 18 does refer back to them as 'challenges, as mentioned earlier'. The published text also reads 'tried to work at improving matters', not 'tried to work on improving matters'.
