In sickness and in health - a promise made by most married couples. When one spouse becomes sick or disabled, the other becomes the caretaker as promised. This will be difficult for both.
No one likes being sick and dependent, and the ailing spouse often feels as though an undue burden has been placed on the partner. The caretaker naturally feels sympathy for the spouse with the health problem but may become exhausted. If and when the health issue is resolved, life may proceed as usual. As sometimes happens, the other spouse may become ill, and the roles will be reversed.
Health is precious and we must try our best to remain healthy not only for our own well-being but also for our partner to have a good life. Even with unfortunate circumstances, love can flourish in sickness and in health. All of us can keep our promise until death do us part.
