死抱死。夫妻吗，有福同享有难同当，死也要死到一起，死也不分开。
词源记忆法：
古希腊人在签订协议时都喜欢请神灵来做见证，方式就是在签订协议的同时祭奠神灵，最常用的祭奠方式就是奠酒，即把酒洒在地上请神灵享用。在希腊语中表示“奠酒”的单词是sponde，该词因而衍生出“承诺、立约”的含义。sponde进入拉丁语后演变为spondere，立约人则称为sponsus。古人结婚其实就是签订婚约然后举行婚礼，所以签订婚约的人也被称为sponsus。英语单词spouse（配偶）就来自拉丁语sponsus，本意就是“签订了婚约的人”。与它同源的单词是sponsor（赞助者、举办者），本意就是“承诺赞助或举办活动的人”。

小知识
A spouse is your companion, your mate, your partner. In ye olden times, spouse was used as a verb meaning “to marry,” but nowadays, it functions as a noun referring to either husband or wife.
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.
