I think it all boils down to this: you have something I want, if you don't give it to me I'll take it by force.
The same mentally exists in thieves, murderers, those that start wars and etc.

Very good comparison.
Nevertheless...the rapist is someone who ruin a innocent person's life, by damaging them psychologically with a deep scar.

What is rape? Brute or sociopath.
Is it catching a woman, slamming her down while she kicks and screams and just giving it to her?
...Or is it more of a sociopathic telling her what she wants to hear and then verbally controlling her and taking control that way until the act?

Well, you know how sociopaths and psychopaths are... When you tell them no, they persist nonstop.
Very annoying people.
Yes, I'm well acquainted with ASPD, but what you wrote makes little sens. She wants to hear what?

IDK. It's all foreign to me. Just trying to understand.
Rape is non-consensual sex
Power and control, mainly. It's not about sex as we tend to think of it, really. Rape is also used as punishment and humiliation in various cultures and contexts.
"No single facet explains the motivation for rape; the underlying motives of rapists can be multi-faceted. Several factors have been proposed: anger,[45] power,[46] sadism, sexual gratification, or evolutionary proclivities.[47][48] However, some factors have significant causal evidence supporting them. American clinical psychologist David Lisak, co-author of a 2002 study of undetected rapists,[49] says that compared with non-rapists, both undetected and convicted rapists are measurably more angry at women and more motivated by a desire to dominate and control them, are more impulsive, disinhibited, anti-social, hypermasculine, and less empathic.[50]
Sexual aggression is often considered a masculine identity characteristic of manhood in some male groups and is significantly correlated to the desire to be held higher in esteem among male peers.[51] Sexually aggressive behavior among young men has been correlated with gang or group membership as well as having other delinquent peers.[52][53] Gang rape is often perceived by male perpetrators as a justified method of discouraging or punishing what they consider as immoral behavior among women for example wearing short skirts or visiting bars. In some areas in Papua New Guinea, women can actually be punished by public gang rape usually through permission by elders.[54]"

So then it's both -either / or.
From a juridic viewpoint, I clearly remember a chapter of the penal law book...which was about crimes regarding sexual abuse.
And if the spouse\partner rapes you, it's very difficult to prove the lack of consent in a trial

I'd imagine so. After all, the two being in love already and married and all.
In an established marriage, there can be no rape.
What? Marital rape is a very real phenomenon, as is spousal abuse. Men beat their wives, verbally abuse them and rape them. Not all marriages have anything to do with love. Sometimes they're built on fear.
This is completely false. Not only is it false, it is an insult to abused spouses the world over and their fight for help and rights. No means no, marriage, engagement, anything. If one partner says no, but the other goes ahead anyway, that is rape. It's sad and disgusting that I even need to explain this.

Well then divorce should be filed.

In an *established* marriage? So then for example, if a man raped his wife, but she wanted to stay married, she could file charges against her husband?
Given the definition of rape being non-consensual sex, I'm not how you came to this conclusion. Married or no, if one simply doesn't wish to have sex and the other takes it by force, that's rape. Nowhere in my vows did it say that I had to be available for intercourse 24/7, until death do us part.
In any relationship.
Yes, she could. In this country since 1991 that is entirely possible.
