Verbal abuse towards wife:[1]
One must be very careful not to oppress his wife, not to cause her pain with words.[2] G-dly retribution for oppressing one’s wife is quick to come.[3] A person is to be very careful with his wife’s honor as the blessing of the home of a man is only found due to the wife. Chazal[4] stated to their generation “Respect your wives in order to become wealthy.”
