短释义：
Your spouse is often called “your better half.” What we call adultery used to be referred to as spouse-breach in the early 13th century. American pediatrician Benjamin Spock said, “The surest measure of a man’s or a woman’s maturity is the harmony, style, joy, and dignity he creates in his marriage, and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.” So, avoid that spouse-breaching at all costs, and till death do you part.
配偶是你的同伴、伴侣、伙伴。在古代，supply 被用作动词，意思是“结婚”，但现在，它被用作名词，指丈夫或妻子。

您的配偶通常被称为“您的另一半”。在 13 世纪初，我们所说的通奸曾被称为配偶背叛。美国儿科医生本杰明·斯波克说：“衡量一个男人或女人是否成熟的最可靠标准是他在婚姻中创造的和谐、风格、欢乐和尊严，以及他为配偶提供的快乐和灵感。”所以，不惜一切代价避免配偶的背叛，直到死亡将你们分开。

—We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
