My husband and I did for 45 years, until Parkinson’s Plus claimed his life. I was his solo caregiver for the last ten years, and it was a challenge, but I know he would have done the same for me. I hate Parkinson’s Plus, by the way.

Being close to 70 yrs old, I can’t fathom why people do not get the concept that marriage isn’t what you get from the relationship, but what you give to it.

God bless you. What a wonderful example of dedication to your husband.

Thank you for your prayers. Please say a special prayer for my daughter-in-law. Pray that she finds Him, and values the man who loves her, not the “stuff” he provides.

TL, thank you for your thoughtful post.

I am going to pray constantly for them both. They are both good parents, and it breaks my heart that after so many years, they seem to be so far apart.

It is a new shock to me, just learning about it 10 days ago. My son was afraid to tell me, because of the recent loss of his dad, my husband.

Reminds me of the old Morton’s salt label, but I pray this young couple has 75 years ahead of them, working through the droughts and torrential downpours, joking over hardships, saving up the good times to carry them across the hard times.

I pray and ask in Jesus’ name, that this couple be blessed by God, with faith in Him, then courage, patience, good will, tolerance, and forgiveness for each other’s faults.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who recognized those details!

Who gets married in January or February? I did in January and you in February. It, merely, shows we CAN ‘weather’ anything and will!

Good interpretation!

Suggest this book to your son. We've found it very insightful. (The Eldredges are popular Christian authors, and their books are in most libraries.)

My husband and I had almost the opposite issue to your daughter-in-law's: he wants to buy things, and I want him to make an effort at things, such as taking care of his pets instead of taking advantage of the knowledge that I'll do it rather than let them suffer. Buying stuff is easy. Paying attention and participating in my life is (it appears) a lot harder.

I was honestly surprised that he didn't agree to a "services contract" cohabitation, but actually wanted to have a relationship with me. It has to be the Holy Spirit at work!
