That is such a profound observation.
I suspect most of the participants on this thread are women. Being a mother, I am having a difficult time coming up with a motive...other than sociopathic rage (Scott Peterson) or betrayal & jealousy (Christina).

Yes, but both men and women have been known to kill their spouses instead of getting a cheap (by comparison) divorce. Sometimes people will kill for little things.
