SECRECY; THE SECRET MARRIAGE KILLER.
I recently heard the pathetic story of a man who was building a fantastic house somewhere at the outskirt of the city without the knowledge of his only wife, but made it known to his bosom friend by keeping the document in his custody.
Unfortunately for him, he died before the completion of the project and the wife innocently stumbled on the detail in his diary. She confronted the so called friend, but he denied the possession of the document, claiming that he only mentioned it to him without showing him the location. Such wife may struggle hard to overcome the sad memory of her late husband’s distrust for her all through life, except for grace.
There is another funny story of a wife who successfully built a house without the

“And they were both naked; the man and his wife, and were not ashamed” Genesis 2:25.
This shows that God’s original plan for marriage is devoid of any secret between the husband and the wife. The man should see and know everything about the wife and vise versa in all things, since they are both one flesh. But the devil on the contrary has successfully destroyed this principle in many homes by introducing double dealing and privacy through the craftiness and deception of the heart. Some men have established a kingdom in a private room apart from their matrimonial room where they take solace and shelter from the “interactive disturbances” of their wife. This is the beginning of gradual disintegration and indirect separation in that marriage.
There should be nothing like “my room” or “your room” in marriage. Although you can have a second room apart from your matrimonial room, which you can call any name of your choice; maybe study or prayer room. Both of you must have access to it for it 's designated usage and not a hideout for secret agenda; especially in times of any little misunderstanding in the
Literature Review: Every murderer has a reason why they do it whether they know it or not. Sexual serial killers do it because they want to feel like they have control over the situation because maybe they were a victim of assault or rape, and they want to gain back the control they lost. Some murder’s kill loved ones because they are guilty of cheating, or they think they don’t love them anymore. Murders are all categorized based on their motive or the professionals put them in one after they review the crime and crime scene. A professional lair suggests someone who tells lies for a living, perhaps someone who lies well.

Affairs affect people in different ways, but no one could imagine an affair destroying their ability to psychologically function. The “killings” by Andre Dubus is a shocking story about a killer named Richard who murders frank the man having an affair with his wife, who is his pride and joy. Riveted with murder and passion the author revels the characteristics of Richard Strout’s in the “killings” as a psychological obsessive and controlling person; these traits effect his emotions and behaviors throughout the story. Richards’s anger which evolves throughout the story, is what leads to his obsessive and controlling behaviors.

Mrs. Mallard’s relationship with her husband seems to not be happy and upon his death, she has a shift of mentality and starts to experience joy and hope instead of grief.
The modern day family lives behind a dark cloak made up of secrets and lies. There is the wife left with physical and mental bruises inflicted upon her by a “loving” husband.

The Worst Crime: Matt’s or Richard’s “Killings”, written by Andre Dubus, illustrates how the death of a loved one may lead to dire consequences for all the parties included. Matt Fowler’s son, Frank, was murdered in cold blood by a jealous soon-to-be ex-husband, Richard Strout. When the death of Frank sunk into the lives of the Fowler’s, Matt believed he had to retaliate in some sort of fashion. The sort of fashion he chose was to seek revenge and kill Richard for his wrongdoings, which he did. Some people believe that the murder committed by Richard Strout can be considered more serious because of his act of passion and his lackadaisical style of living without worrying about his future.

Sometimes the things we do for others don’t always go as planned. That was the case for the innocent wife in “Birthday Party” by Katharine Brush, as what was thought to be a nice gesture by the wife, was viewed as a crime by her husband. This small event can be an indicator of a crumbling relationship, and through literary devices such as diction and shifts to portray this deeper meaning. The harsh adjectives used throughout this piece paint a story much darker than simple botched celebration.
