Your Question:
can i still have a good relationship with my partner if i'm in a wheelchair?
Answer:
As someone who has been married for 19 years, I can attest that a strong relationship is built on mutual respect, trust, and love. My wife Susan and I have had our ups and downs over the years, but we've always found a way to work through our differences. The idea that you can't respect your partner if they have weaknesses is a misconception. In fact, it's precisely because of our weaknesses that we need to be patient, understanding, and supportive of each other. When Susan and I were dating, we didn't know each other's weaknesses. But as we grew together, we learned to appreciate each other's quirks and imperfections. We learned to look out for each other, to be considerate of each other's needs, and to support each other in our endeavors. This is the key to a strong relationship: looking out for each other, even when we stumble. If you're in a wheelchair, it's no different. Your partner will stumble in different ways, but that's okay. The important thing is that you're committed to each other, that you respect and love each other, and that you're willing to work through the tough times together. As I always say to my congregation at church, "Love is not about being perfect; it's about being present and supportive of each other, even in our imperfections."
