I want to say that at various points in your marriage, may it last forever, you will look at this person and feel only rage.

About This Quote

Marriage is often a rollercoaster of emotions. I’m sure that you have been in a situation where you were so mad at your spouse that you wanted nothing more than to be rid of them. We all have been there, and even when we don’t show it, we feel the same way. When we are mad, we want to make our spouses suffer in some way or another.

We want to make them pay for things they have done wrong. Even in the middle of a fight, when our spouse says something that makes us mad, we may feel the urge to lash out at them. In my opinion when your spouse says something that makes you mad, it’s important to grab a hold of yourself and stop yourself from doing anything rash or stupid.
