Martha, this is a tough situation to be in without being married to a minister, but even harder if the abuser is a pastor.
I suggest that the abused document the abuse: any pictures, dr, records, text messaging to friends, etc. that can sow past abuse. I do not recommend remaining in a situation if the abused will be physically endangered. I think making an "safe escape plan" would be a good thing to arrange with a trusted friend or organization that helps in such situations. When the abused is then out of the situation and safe, then I do agree that you should take this before the elders with 2-3 witnesses and evidence, so that the abused will not be punished by the leadership for going against the pastor.
So, along with the safe escape plan, one would need to secure a legal separation and a no-contact order from the courts. Before one would do all of this, the abused should do what she can to secure income for expenses after the separation occurs until there can be court action for the distribution of income earned within the marriage.
I don't believe one needs to be divorced to receive such funds. Also, before all of this is initiated, secure a safe place to move to, even if temporary. If there are children, take them, too, away from the abuser.
I suggest that one do all that one can do to separate completely from the relationship. The abuser has broken the marriage covenant wit violence. This is talked about in Malachi 3:14-15. The treachery here has been interpreted as abuse by some commentaries, but others say it is the husband divorcing the wife of his youth to marry a younger woman.
I suggest that one consult a trusted Christian counselor with no connection to the church of the minister and family friends/relatives, to get help with this along spiritual, physical, emotional, and legal lines.
Hi Martha Ephesians 5:25-29 fits much better, also just the term minister itself means their supposed to Love respect cherish have self control, patience, and honor others before Himself I.E. example to others. My point
has always been I'd rather see a sermon then hear one also respect is earned not just given. I don't know your whole situation I'd get advice from others who know of the situation and bring it before two or three believers.
No matter who the individual is if there not committed to the doctrine that is unbelief. Let the Word do the Work
we are not held accountable for someone else's unbelief no matter who they may be.
