Tips That Can Save Your Marriage And Turn Your Life Around

A visit to the office of a voluntary organization providing succour to women, victims of domestic violence, led to a memorable experience. A lady with her infant children walked into the waiting room, sat down quietly without a word as if in a daze. The children clinging to her in a way that suggested they were horrified. She bore the tell tale of physical abuse. It was evident that she had just been assaulted bearing injuries and blood shot eyes. In the melee, she had decided to seek refuge.

In consideration of what could be done to help adults and children in such difficult situations, I felt it was pertinent to provide legal protection to these victims of family violence. The law against domestic violence in Lagos State comes into focus. It has seemingly far- reaching legal remedies for victims of abuse. The law is predicated on the issuance of protective orders to protect the victims. Happily, the issue of non-interference by the police in civil cases when it involves family violence is a thing of the past. It has obliterated the hitherto general principle of police practice not to intervene in domestic disputes except in cases where physical injury of a serious nature had been inflicted because the police appeared to regard domestic violence as a crime in only the most serious cases.

The law empowers police officers to arrest without a warrant of arrest any person suspected to have committed an offence containing an element of domestic violence. There is a corresponding warrant of arrest with the protection order to arrest a respondent in case of a breach of the court order to protect the complainant where he/she has suffered or may suffer imminent harm as a result of the breach. Moreover, it has a provision for a compulsory period of counselling granted by the court to any person deemed fit for such service in respect of the matter. However, the publicity of this law will create needed awareness and its enforcement will go a long way to justify its enactment.

There is the need to consider circumstances leading up to violence in families or that could make a man exhibit negative emotions or outbursts leading to spousal violence and molestation. While not as prevalent as men battering women, there are women aggressors as well who abuse, molest or harass their husbands.

There is no gainsaying that all relationships have their ups and downs but there are some behaviours that are counter-productive in intimate domestic relationships such as anger, retaliation, unforgiveness and generally over-reacting. A simple matter which could have been handled in a constructive manner with empathy and effective listening in an atmosphere of mutual respect, is allowed to fester and escalate. In such situations, a partner inadvertently crosses over from the threshold of normal marital disagreement to verbal attacks, psychological or emotional bullying, intimidation to physical abuse. These leave the other partner with deep pains and profound feeling of betrayal of trust by someone presumed to love her.

An important but mostly overlooked component of domestic violence is the period of passive abuse and care leading to violence. This period of potential danger is often ignored. Passive abuse is covert, subtle and veiled; it includes victimization, neglect and mental abuse.

When a marriage is allowed to go the way of breaking down, it inevitably experiences a great deal of tension which may sometimes lead to violence or threatened violence. This may be as a result of different factors such as long-standing dissatisfaction with the marriage, unemployment, economic dependence of the woman on the partner, stress, drug or alcohol abuse or when a partner tries to control and dominate the other, low self-esteem, extreme jealousy, feeling inferior to the other partner in education and socio-economic background or achievement.

There is the issue of misunderstanding. There is nothing unusual about misunderstanding in domestic or any relationship. It occurs when there is a lack of insight into a partner’s view or actions this engenders friction if not properly handled.  When a partner does not exercise enough patience or endeavours to understand his spouse but jumps into conclusions by misinterpreting  his or her behaviour or perspective which could be clarified through asking questions and listening to each other. This could easily be addressed through discussion without getting worked up. It is vital to understand the other person’s viewpoint which is not achieved by being defensive, trying to retaliate, justifying or rationalizing but by paying attention to each other.

Mind reading is a major problem when we assume we know the other partner’s thoughts and feelings. When people are sure they know what is going on in the mind of the other person leading to faulty and negative interpretations of their actions. A partner should not assume his spouse knows or should know what he wants but should learn to communicate this to him or her. Asking questions and taking pains to listen can help manage the differences and sort things out. This is positive and productive as it contributes to building a respectful relationship. A person can be pro-active by expressing his feelings  and communicate his needs clearly, saying what is on his mind in a way that is clear and assertive without being aggressive or putting the other person down. We can be in control of our emotions, get in touch with our own feelings, thoughts and expectations and be able to communicate them to the other person calmly. The other person can respond with care and without being defensive.

Making character attacks can be avoided. There is the need to learn to always separate the person from the problem and deal with the problem constructively.Some people sometimes take a negative behaviour of a partner and blow it up into a personality flaw. We need to continue to respect the person even if we do not approve of their behaviour. Bossing, name calling, hitting, threats are all counter-productive and damaging to a relationship. The appreciation of our differences, being respectful and mobilizing positive feelings is vital and a great advantage to our domestic relationships.

There is the common culprit of over-generalizing which stems from a position that you feel you are right and that there is a right way to look at things and a wrong way and that your way of seeing things is the right one. We can arrive at decisions by exploring different views and options through discussion which would not demand that your partner see things your way because you may discover that both points of view are valid.

Being defensive, blaming the other person in order to win an argument, blaming your actions and situations on the other partner can lead to resentment. Constantly criticizing your partner, shutting down during arguments or refusing to talk or listen when one partner wants to discuss troubling issues in the relationship can create long-term problems and build up frustrations, resentment and hard feelings which can explode and get blurted out in an angry and hurtful way adversely affecting the relationship.

It is productive to embrace dialogue in a calm and respectful manner. We can learn to control our emotions, develop self-calming techniques, clear and planned pattern of thinking and accept ourselves. We can discuss with calm voice and calm body language thereby preventing emotional outbursts. Open discussion with a sense of humility can bring people closer together, help them generate options and solution to their problems that is mutually satisfying.

A simple apology can work wonders. Accepting your own role in a conflict helps to resolve it by admitting when you are wrong saying you are sorry and meaning it.

Persons prone to perpetrating violence can change their behaviour and develop respectful, caring relationships. They should recognize that they are in control of their own behaviour, and can chose not to be violent. They can recognize those things that wind them up, stop and adopt different ways of dealing with the difficulties in their personal lives and relationships. They can learn to manage their anger in a better non-violent way.They should consider the consequences of their actions and the impact of abuse on the other partner and the children. Violence has a devastating effect on children. We can choose not to be violent or abusive whatever the situation.
