Your Question:
Can I still have a happy marriage with a terminal illness?
Answer:
As someone who has walked through the valleys of life with my wife Susan, I can attest that having a terminal illness in a marriage can be incredibly challenging. But I believe that with God's help, we can persevere through the darkest of times and emerge stronger and more loving on the other side. It's not about being naive or ignoring the pain, but about trusting that God can heal the wounds and put love back in our hearts. When we're faced with the reality of a terminal illness, it's easy to give up and let despair consume us. But I've learned that it's in those moments of desperation that we must cry out to God for help. We must pray for an end to the conflict and a breaking of the hold that illness has on us. It's not about being optimistic or pessimistic, but about trusting that God's will is to bring healing and restoration to our marriage. I know that it's not always easy, and there will be times when it feels like giving up is the only option. But I've seen it time and time again in my own marriage and in the marriages of those I've counseled: perseverance pays off. It's not about being a failure if we struggle to stay married, but about applauding our effort to hold on to what's truly important – our love for each other and our commitment to God. With God's help, we can overcome even the most daunting challenges and emerge with a stronger, more loving marriage.
