As a couple, when you said at your wedding “in sickness and in health,” that was a serious vow said before God and MUST be kept at all costs. In marriage, adversity can come…..bodily sickness, mental health issues, car accidents, and so on. Your partner depends on you before we even bring in the medical staff into the equation. A spouse is responsible for physical, moral, financial, and prayer support for their sick spouse even if the spouse is bedridden or wheelchair bound. In 2023, my wife had a major operation that kept her inactive for weeks, and she started to kind of normalise at 3 months. I had to lift her out of bed and help her into bed. I had to prepare meals or order them for her. Sometimes, such periods can be short, other times long. What’s important is to exercise love and empathy. Patience is important, too, and being careful that in your speech, you don’t make your suffering spouse think that they are a burden to you. Remember you vowed on the wedding day!
