Til Murder Do Us Part

Somone is attempting to kill their spouse (or already has), either to collect on life insurance, because the voices in their head told them to do it, or for some other reason. Maybe they're really a serial killer who marries their victims and then offs them in succession. Or maybe Divorce Requires Death in this setting.

Most often the couple is newly wed, and the unfortunate victim usually won't suspect a thing until after the wedding, when things start to take a turn for the disturbing.

Compare The Bluebeard and Black Widow, who do this over and over again.

A common parody is to have the protagonist think his spouse is trying to do this, often with several Stab the Salad moments.

Live Action TV

 * Taken to an extreme degree in Monk, and somewhat less so in Psych, where pretty much every other mystery ends with someone trying to kill their spouse, oft times with little reason beyond just wanting to do it. The worst example was that one time in Monk where the husband found a suicide note his wife wrote years ago, and decided to kill his wife simply because he realized he could with no risk.
