Making It through Sickness and Health as A Couple By Lynette Kittle "In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself" - Ephesians 5:28 So many marriage vows these days leave out staying together "in sickness and in health." In my estimation, it's a huge mistake. Sometimes people are looking at all the romantic considerations in marriage and overlooking the practical day-to-day practical benefits of marriage, like taking care of each other. I'm thankful we left it in our vows because we've needed it through the years. When my husband and I were first married and moving to Alaska with our 4-month-old firstborn, we were hit hard with an awful, stomach flu. New to the area and before the days of Grubhub, DoorDash, and same-day grocery deliveries, we were stuck in temporary housing on the Air Force Base without a car or any means of transportation. |
