Of course, don't marry the wrong man. Since abuse tends to increase after marriage. It also tends to increase after the birth of a child. Sure, poverty also tends to increase abuse. Basically, any factor that makes it harder for the victim to leave makes the abuser feel safer to abuse more. If you want to decrease abuse - increase people's ability to safely leave. It also helps to increase respect for individual autonomy even within a relationship, such as not having beliefs about partners owing you sex or housework or whatnot. If you don't like what you're getting out of a relationship, you have an absolute right to leave. And people should be encouraged to break up rather than try to force their partner into becoming what they are looking for. It's fine to tell a partner what you want in a relationship, but if you're generally not getting it, look elsewhere rather than trying to manipulate someone who isn't right for you into being more what you want. The latter pretty much never works out well.
