An attack by a spouse

You miss the opportunity to love him for hitting you?? If a spouse ever attacks you, the best thing for you to do is leave and don't go back. Once a person physically attacks another, the attacks will continue and usually will become worse. I think you're putting the wrong message out there. To stay with a physical abuser is to put one's life on the line. They might need love, but they need to be taught how to go about getting it and a spouse cannot do that. Psychiatric treatment (or prayer!) is the only thing that will help them.

If a wife attack her husband it means that she has reached her boiling point and can't take it anymore :)

oh wow.. i think that is absurd. a lost temper no matter how you were triggered is something that is way out of the question. one should be able to control their anger, shouting must have been too rough already... i would take no beating from anybody.

he doesn't sound like a wise man at all. even if it was a cry for love, he would have forfeited ANY right to that love. it sounds like an excuse. and there isn't an excuse to hit someone you're supposed to love.

I wonder what is wise about that. To me it sounds way to much like: if a woman says NO she means Yes (so free card to rape her). Perhaps it's a cry for love, or it can be a cry for love but it's not said your spouse wants your love. Can be you are the pain in the a...

How we love to deceive ourselves. An attack from a spouse is an indication she's had enough of it. You've just been missing the point.
