- Both absolute positions are correct
- The provision eliminates all other summons rules
- Marriage alone satisfies every alternative-mode requirement
- Each spouse’s valid service must be separately established under the applicable rules; neither absolute interpretation follows
- The plaintiff can choose which spouse receives due process
