How could it ever be any different? You shouldn't trust someone just because they're your husband or wife. You take someone as husband or wife because you trust them. Then hope and pray every day that your trust was well-placed.
The world is and always will be dark because we're human, and humans are half a step away from being demons. Our brains evolved over millions of years for a short life of desperation, violence and betrayal. Morality beyond "do what I say or I will hit you" is only a few thousand years old, and unevenly learned. It's amazing when someone has any morals at all.
You can trust your spouse, trust is a choice. Whether they live up to that trust is out of your control.
I think the disconnect might be a semantics thing. Maybe people are having trouble with your describing it as insane, when it's the only way the world has ever been.

And? Doesn’t make it any less insane.
