SPOUSAL ABUSE <\/p>\n

There really is just no excuse,
\nFor engaging in spousal abuse.
\nIf your temper begins to flare,
\nAct quickly; just go somewhere.<\/p>\n

Don’t dare beat up on your wife,
\nYou will pay the rest of your life.
\nAnd miss, leave your hubby alone,
\nSettle down; don’t pick a bone.<\/p>\n

In the end, no one really wins,
\nThat will be when divorce begins.
\nBetter to love with all your heart,
\nMake peace; no fight should start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
