Does verbal abuse often lead to physical?

[Alxve]

I have heard that verbal abuse sometime is a subcategory of Domestic abuse as well as physical abuse is a category of Domestic abuse.
Do you think verbal abuse is a sign for future physical abuse?

I believe that verbal abuse can cross the line and lead to physical abuse if it was the thing that broke the camel's back. The last thing they could take and snap!
