 "....fostering the harmony and sanctity of the marriage relationship"
Marital privilege is not a commonly used criminal law procedure but almost every person has heard that a wife can not testify against her husband and like wise a husband can not testify against his wife. Although, people’s basic understanding of spousal is correct, there are many details that most people are not aware of as it relates to marital privilege. In the U.S. Supreme Court case, Trammel v. United States, the Supreme Court said the justification for having spousal privilege is it perceived role in fostering the harmony and sanctity of the marriage relationship.

“Til Death Do Us Part? Your marital obligation continues even after death”
In addition, to the general uncertainties of death most of us are concern that after our death we will no longer h ave any control over any affairs on Earth. Many of us are concerned about what will happen to our children, family real estate, family heir looms and our hard earned money. Through a Last Will and Testament we are fortunate that the law try to ensure that our wishes are carried out after death. Generally speaking, your Last Will and Testament allows for the dispositions of your property any matter you wish. However, the law prevents a person from completely disinheriting their spouse unless it was agreed to be disinheri ted in a legal agreement or prenuptial agreement. A Will that attempts to completely disinherit a spouse or a will that does not adequately provide for a spouse is subject to a spousal challenge or a will contest.
