Marriages are union that brings joy and happiness to the minds of well-wishers because a new family and love story is starting. Aside well-wishers, the couples involved felt something unique that made them decide to go on a lifetime journey together. They see themselves as who can't go a day without being together. The care, love and affection makes the phrase "butterflies in the belly" a watchword for the two lovers turning lifetime partners, promising themselves to be together "for better for worse, till death do them part" with eyes of love.
Along the line, some things happen and they get to feel distant from one another. At times, I feel like what's the real problem that makes once upon a time true lovers become enemies who doesn't wanna see themselves eyeball to eyeball or would even dare to harm themselves in one way or the other. Where did that spark of love disappear to?
Marriage is endurable when it is going through normal endurable challenges which may be based on financial status or instability, misunderstandings, family rifts and similar issues of which most people believe that as a partner in a marriage, you must be able to persevere and stand by your partner all through the hard times.
This perspective of enduring and perseverance on the basis of "for better for worse" are mostly tagged and pinned on women especially in my side of the country because they believe that for every successful marriage lies the efforts of the woman which they often extend these expectations to the point of a woman losing her life.
I'm of a support that a woman should fulfil her marriage vows, to stand and fight for her marriage in good or bad times too but at the point where domestic violence sets in, where the emotional or mental state and the safety of the partner is not certain anymore then the phrase of "for better for worse" in marriage is a no no.
What can be more worse than a partner raising up their hands to hit their partners? What can be more worse than you hurting the same person you claim to love? What can be worse than you bringing a loved one into harms way? Violence that could claim the life you've never created.
He or she has experienced the worse already and there's no worse to endure anymore except for death. So who would wanna die when they have a chance to opt out and sign out of a life threatening contract.
So no matter what, from my own perspective, a marriage ends the day a partner turns to be an animal who is willing to turn their partners into an element of practicing and executing an act of violence.
Marriage vows should be protected and ensured in getting it fulfiled but not turning out to be a death sentence. There should always be an exit door in a chaotic and violent union when there's still the breathe to make use of the door.

When they say, "till death do us part" I don't think they meant staying with an abusive partner till he beats you to death. The moment a woman starts facing physical abuse the best thing is to leave if she loves her life.
Yes o my sister.... Run for your life when it turns abusive cos na da death go part them if she no run
It's better leave a marriage where there is violence and have your life than to die it. Tomorrow your loves ones seeking for justice after death lolz no. Thanks for sharing
