Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.
Now, you can stand it when your body emits a stench before you realize it, or when it festers and becomes pussy and completely pollutes your skin. You make allowances for all this. In fact, this only increases your concern and love for your body; you wait on it and wash it, and you endure and help in every way you can. Why not do the same with the spouse whom God has given you, who is an even greater treasure and whom you have even more reason to love?
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of compassion, understanding, and care in a marriage or partnership. It suggests that just as we take care of our physical bodies, even when they may have unpleasant or deteriorating aspects, we should also extend the same level of patience and support to our spouse. Rather than being repulsed or withdraw from their flaws and imperfections, we should work to strengthen the bond, love, and commitment in the relationship, recognizing our spouse as a precious and valuable treasure that deserves our unwavering care and assistance.
