Well, that's how I feel about certain members of my family. As for a spouse though, why marry someone if you don't even like them? Doesn't make sense to me.

And if you don't like them, what is the love based on? This is what I'm hoping the OP will explain.
I think what the OP means is, you love and care for them, but they annoy the hell out of you, and make you sick alot. But love them, but sometimes don't like them in certain moments.
If anyone is familiar with sitcoms, think of the old married couples
Fred / Ethel
Mare / Frank
Stanley / Helen
Ray / Debra
These couples loved one another, but they fought alot, and annoyed the hell out of one another. But even though they weren't affectionate, or love birds, love was shown on both ends for all these couples.
It's normal. Sometimes when you leave the honeymoon phase, you may fight more, or be annoyed alot. However, it's only not fine if you don't love them, and feel trapped and miserable.
If there is love there, and you do want to be there, then you're fine. If you're miserable, then leaving would be best.

Right. And that's beautiful. I'm meaning over time, you start not to like him/her, but still love them. Is that OK?

No, I don't ... Neither like nor love necessitates one or the other. I just believe the like can fade, but the love can remain. AND is that wrong?
