Killed By Wife 15 Minutes After Leaving Jail

By



A Tennessee man was shot and killed by his wife less than 15 minutes after he was released from jail.
Robert Vann Marshall, 34, allegedly broke an order of protection Saturday barring him from going anywhere near his wife. Earlier that day, he was thrown in the slammer and given the order because he allegedly threatened to kill his wife and children, WBIR reported.

At 1:27 p.m., he was released from jail. At 1:38 p.m., officers received a call from Marshall's wife at their McMinn County home, during which she claimed her husband was forcing his way inside the home. Police said he was irate, suicidal and possibly armed.
"His wife called 911 and was telling our dispatchers that he was trying to break into the residence," McMinn County Sheriff Joe Guy told WRCB. "She retreated into the back bedroom, and at some point fired a shot and he was killed."

As police descended on the home, Marshall's wife told dispatchers that she had shot him. The Huffington Post is withholding the woman's name because she is a possible domestic violence victim.
The woman is currently not facing charges because Guy believes she acted out of self defense. The district attorney will investigate to determine whether the case should go in front of a grand jury.
Guy told reporters that an order of protection is "just a piece of paper," but said it's rare that the process ends in more violence.

It isn't bad but it certainly isn't good either. If you and your mate are considering parting ways, it is a serious thing for both of you. The one ingredient that I believe you must have to make it work is collaboration. Have you ever stayed in a relationship just for the stuff ? For example, do you have a great bed? One woman said she stayed in her relationship just because of a Tempur-Pedic mattress. Do you belong to a country club? Do you own a second home in another state that would no longer be yours if you left the relationship? All of this stuff can tempt you to stay in the relationship even if you know it should be over. Is your happily-ever-after starting to look a little dim?    When is it time to move on? It's important to real...

The Key to Happy Relationships? It’s Not All About Communication

By
If couples were paying any attention during the past few decades, they should be able to recite the one critical ingredient for a healthy relationship — communication. But the latest study shows that other skills may be almost as important for keeping couples happy. While expressing your needs and feelings in a positive way to your significant other is a good foundation for resolving conflicts and building a healthy relationship, these skills may not be as strong a predictor of couples’ happiness as experts once thought. In an Internet-based study involving 2,201 participants referred by couples counselors, scientists decided to test, head to head, seven “relationship competencies” that previous researchers and marital therapists found to be important in promoting happiness in romantic relationships. The idea was to rank the skills in order of importance to start building data on which aspects of relationships are most important to keeping them healthy. In addition to ...
