Despite of ? or In spite of ...

On an Wedding ceremony I recently attended a message from the priest strikes me deepest to my heart. During his sermon the priest says “you two from now on, you have to love each other not despite of but in spite of . And that struck me and keep me thingking , what’s the difference ? it looks the same to me .

Despite of - is a very negative thing to say to a person. It is more confine to something like

Despite of your looks…
Despite of your attitude…

But

In spite of – it brings something positive about your outlook. It connotes everything “entirely “.

In spite of having it all wrong I still love you…
In spite of treating me like that I still care..

So, now starts everyday by telling your partner not despite of but in spite of.
