Yes.
However.
I've survived a verbally and (a little) physically abusive marriage. I can't even begin to tell you the things I told myself -- the reasons I felt I needed to stay. And yes, I believed that God was punishing me for having committed adultry. It took a lot of love and soul-searching and actually experiencing what a loving life looked like to move away from it.

Keep up the good work, Dianne!
