Very insightful statement. Every couple argues (its called getting to know yourselves deeper as different from the superficial and sometimes phony knowledge you had of one another before marriage) BUT the minute you start seeing hatred in the same eyes you once saw love (even in the middle of an argument) then the handwriting is on the wall and only God and a great dose of Love, Forgiveness and Longsuffering can bring back SOME of that love that is gradually turning to hatred.
If all else fails and everytime you argue you REPEATEDLY keep seeing hatred in the same eyes you once saw love then for the sake of your sanity and the safety of all concerned (especially the kids if you have any) then it is time to call time on the marriage.

First its the increase in "Death at the Hands of a Spouse" that we are witnessing in marriages that have become a "War of the Roses" (including in Naija where this was not too common in the past). I hope Death at the hands of a child, trying to protect one parent will not creep into Naija.

But serioulsy, once a marriage is dead then its dead and its better to MOVE ON and let sleeping dogs lie instead of stubbornly holding onto a dead marriage thereby poisoning the upbringing of the kids who are smarter and more sensitive than you think. Afterall its not the kids fault that Daddy and Mummy are no longer seeing eye to eye. ITS JUST A FACT OF LIFE IN 21ST CENTURY MARRIAGES.

kpozite: Well warning to all wife/ girlfriend beaters. If you think you are strong go and sign up leather or feather weight boxing and use your talent to make money rather than use it against your loved ones.

Sisi_Kill: Errr. . . Excuse me but last I checked,

It is better to be a Father Killer than to be Child from a Divorce home

It is better to be a Dead Mrs than a living Ex-Mrs.

It is better to raise kids in a battlefield intact home (pun intended) than a peaceful broken home.

It is better to have a murdered father/husband than a divorced father/husband.

. . . .Soooooo why is this news??!

On a slightly different note, some months ago, there was a thread about marrying a girl from divorced home and the general consensus was that most men won't. Apparently, her parents being divorced shows she won't take marriage seriously.

To those people, I ask. . .How do you feel about marrying a Father Killer? She must be hot cake for y'all right now, no? Sure, sure, she killed her daddy but hey. . at least she ain't from a divorced home, so off to the alter you go!! May you live in piece (Again pun intended)!!! Mazel Tov!

Yes it will at the rate Nigerians are going. I saw a youtube video on bellanaija that stated that 50% or every 1 in 2 married Nigerian women are victims of domestic violence in Nigeria. What makes domestic violence worse in Nigeria is that these abused women are constantly told to go back to their abusive husbands. There is no safe haven for abused women and their children in Nigerian society.

In addition, Nigerian society is crawling with hypocrites. People who believe in suffering and smiling and pushing people to remain in dangerous circumstances like an abusive marraige. So who is to say that in the not so distant future, children will not begin to take matters into their own hands like this 11 year old girl did? There is only so much a human being can take. We should always remember that.

Re u happy it happened?

How dare you make me laugh in this sad situation? My dear, I really taya, some are asking for the "other side of the story" in the Frank and Zakky wife confession thread, hmmmm, we really would prefer they kept quiet and stayed there, we will be more sympathetic if any of them actually died from the abuse. Same people shouting "god punish the man" here will be the first to tell a woman "marriage is not for children, divorce is not an option, stay and fight for ya home," go to the thread on wife and sister flogging in the family section, one kind man suggested that the wife hide in the room even if it was for a month to avoid flogging. You go bow jor
