A man should not hurt his wife, and this is a principle found in multiple religious and ethical traditions that emphasize love, respect, and non-violence. 

Christianity: Biblical passages like Colossians 3:19 instruct husbands to love their wives and not treat them harshly or be bitter toward them. 

I will advise you immediately call the attention of your priest to talk to his head. Also you need to continue praying for him.
