This is the person you first married. They are whom you practice the act of marriage with. You may or may not get it right and move to another spouse. This applies to all genders and intermingling of genders and not specific to the traditional male / female ideal of marriage.
This is my wife/husband, or as I refer to her/him my practice spouse.

In honor of my Practice Spouse Lorri H!
