Cease to exist Quote by Leanne Stoddard
“If spousal love and family love were akin.. then divorce would cease to exist. Love and tolerate your spouse as if you would love your dearest family member. If your mother/father/sibling (ect) were to get on your nerves... you may get angry/discouraged but at the end of the day.. you fully acknowledge that they are still your family which whom you love beyond recognition and would be devistated if their presence was discontinued within your lifetime.. Love your spouse the same! At the end of the day, its still your spouse.. your lifetime partner.. the one YOU chose to bestow your vows upon.. And once entered into union.. your spouse becomes.. YOUR FAMILY!”
