thesis- the best way to cure abusive relationships is through counseling.
pros-

1. compromise is an important aspect of a relationship. both have to want to work it out. even though it doesn't go all their way. the abuser has to learn to except the person the way they are. change will only come if they are willing to change their ways and or through acceptance.
2. counseling helps if they both are willing to better themselves. also willing to take in advice, and to recognize what they are doing wrong or how they are being treated.

con-

1. when aggressor suggest counseling most times it won't work because they could sit in their counseling classes/sessions all they want but not take in or admit to what they are doing. usually when the aggressor wants counseling it's not for them selves. it's to better their partner.
