It happens more than you can ever imagine. Hours later the police return after one of them has shot and killed the other. I'm a cop wife and I have heard absolutely horrifying stories over the years about couples who got into fights and the neighbors called the police, but both halves of the couple denied the violence (even when one of them is bleeding but they say it was an "accident") and sent the police away. There's a reason "must arrest" laws exist in all 50 states now - it's to give the fighting couple room to breathe and calm down away from each other so that things don't escalate to the point where somebody gets killed. If one of you were to call the police, one of you would be arrested. If he hits her, or she hits him, it's against the law and it's domestic violence. That is called DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - you don't have to actually be married for it to be classified that way. Physical violence is never okay, no matter which half of the couple is raising their hand to the other. And let's face it, most brides and grooms who aren't ready to exchange vows but do it anyway end up divorced eventually.ģ. Money be damned - it's going to cost you more in legal fees and therapy later if you marry somebody you know you shouldn't. And those are all BAD REASONS to join your life with somebody else's life. When your potential personal and professional mortification is the number one reason you're going to say "I do," you really need to say "I don't." Just because your boss and everyone else you know and love has already purchased plane tickets and you and your parents have shelled out thousands for your actual wedding activities, and you have a designer gown that looks amazing on you waiting in a giant dress bag, you shouldn't get married for the wrong reasons.
