How hard can I hit my spouse before it's considered 'abuse'?

Hitting your spouse is never acceptable and considered abusive no matter how lightly or hard it may be done. There is no set criteria to determine when hitting becomes abusive; it is up to a professional to decide according to the circumstances in each case.
