Your Question:

How do I tell my partner about my diagnosis?

Answer:

I can relate to this situation as a pastor and a husband. When it comes to sharing a diagnosis with your partner, it's essential to take it to God first and pray about it. This will help you discern the right approach and words to use. As the Bible says, "If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us" (1 John 5:14). By praying, you'll be able to speak to your husband from a place of faith and trust in God's sovereignty.

Before speaking to your husband, consider the tone and approach you'll take. Pray that his eyes be opened to the truth and his heart convicted, rather than coming across as nagging or accusatory. This will help create a safe and open environment for discussion. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with emotional distance and unspoken agreements not to talk about certain issues. By praying and approaching the conversation with love and humility, you can avoid this pitfall and work together to address the issue.

As a husband, I can attest to the importance of being open and honest with your partner, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like health issues. Pray that your husband will learn to take proper care of himself, and if he becomes ill, pray for him to be healed. Trust in God's promise to heal, as He says, "I am the Lord who heals you" (Exodus 15:26). By praying for your husband and approaching the conversation with love and faith, you can work together to address the issue and deepen your relationship with each other and with God.
