ONE WORD FOR WIFE BEATER

ONE WORD FOR WIFE BEATER

By Fashina Muyiwa Julius 

A wife beater is not just a failure or a coward but an “Animal in human skin” that should be kept in the zoo, a man who claimed to love his wife will never beat his wife for any reason. To start with what is marriage a dictionary put it as “the legally or formally recognized “UNION OF TWO PEOPLE AS PARTNERS” however, A commonly accepted and encompassing definition of marriage is the following: a formal union, social and legal contract between two individuals that “UNITES THEIR LIVES LEGALLY, ECONOMICALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY”. I am not talking about religion here, but common sense in 21st epoch.

There are identified basic types of relationships, i.e.: 

• Marital relationships.

• Family relationships.

• Friendships.

• Acquaintances.

• Work relationships.

• Situational relationships (sometimes called "situationships")

You may have been or be in any of the relationship mentioned above,  but there is none that does not have its own flaws, but assault is not an option for resolution.

Your wife is a critical and crucial better half, she is not just your partner in that relationship but your life because you have both come together to unite your lives to live as one, so she deserves to be respected. Kindly recall that your commitment as a husband is to love her and to protect her at all times, it is an insane situation to beat and assault the same person you have a responsibility to protect. I do not understand and can never understand why conflict resolution should be resolved through assault, it is not comical but ridiculous and barbaric.

Misunderstanding or Conflict in a relationship is inevitable but your ability to be civil at amicably resolving it is crucial, what are you teaching your children if you beat or assault their mother, do you understand the psychological impact of that barbaric behavior in them? No true child will be happy to see or hear their father beat their mother. It is unacceptable; it is a barbaric and wicked act.

Imagine seeing your father beating your own mother right in your presence, how will you feel, will you love your father for that? Even if your own father did that to your mother while you are growing up, does it make you happy and is it commendable? Aside from the fact that it is barbaric, beating your wife is beating yourself and psychologically and emotionally traumatizing your own Children. Say no to wife beating today. 

If you read this and do not feel sorry if you have ever beaten your wife, then you are an Animal in Human skin, and you should be kept in the Zoo. 

Thank you
