Until Death do Us Part

Tagged:  •  

Marriage is a scary thought these days. Not only is the divorce rate high, along with the rate of infidelity but now we have to worry about our spouses murdering us! Another man is charged with killing his wife and child- sadly a charge we have seen frequently. A notorious wrestler killed his wife, child and himself last year. And lets not forget the infamous Scott and Lacy Peterson story. This is something that is just horrific, there is no warning label for this kind of thing. I am sure that each one of these marriages began with the promise of love, loyalty, and life shared together, so what happens? Although there is usually a red flag of someone's tendencies, a lot of these cases reveal that although every marriage has its problems the couples were relatively "normal" and "happy".Not only are these crimes tragic enough but it seems that each of these people murder their spouse and even child so brutally! The reasons are endless concerning the murder towards the murder's spouse, the reason as to why the murder of the child took place are unexplained. "Until death do us part" is definitly given a new meaning with this trend.

Peace be upon you!

Humbly, I believe that God has granted to mankind the instrument of prayer without which the human is not in a position to use fully his or her capabilities. For peace in with other halves and childrey, here I write prayer from holy Quran:

= Our Lord, grant us of our spouses and children the delight of (our) eyes, and make us a model for the righteous. [part of verse 75: chapter 25]

and prayer for parents:
=My Lord, have mercy on them as they nurtured me in (my) childhood. [part of verse25: chapter 17]

I can't explain other people's reasonings. But as a human I know that it is easy to feel trapped in a relationship. Something goes sour somewhere, and it could just be something outside of the relationship.

Another factor is anger. Anger is more powerful than most people understand. In a fit of anger and hatred a person could kill another, seconds later not know why they did. Most murders within marriage, the killer than kills themselves. It's always like they could never forgive themselves for hurting loved ones.

Love is a tricky emotion. It's true to say that only loved ones can truly hurt you. Only the people one cares about can hurt their heart. Any slight insecurity in a marriage can cause unnecessary hurt and anger. So in a way, America is bent on failing marriages. Whether they end in divorce or in death.

I am engaged. Believe me, we have had a very rocky relationship. But luckily, we are sure in each other. We love each other for who we are. I love him for all his little quirks and strength and conviction in family. I, honest to God, believes that he loves me. I have seen so many of my friends fall into the trap of "well he asked me" I've already had two friends divorce, and several aunts and uncles. I'm only 22 and most of my friends are not that much older. Its a sad fact of American life.

Our culture fears both commitment and marriage, scarier yet is death.
