Quote From: pmwmelIf you truely love your spouse you would not call them nasty names when you know that hurts them. If you truely love your spouse you would do ANYTHING to keep him/her alive. Mary's story makes my heart ache. I'm a 22 years old woman and my 23 year old husband, of one year, had a liver transplant 9 months ago. There is NOTHING that I wouldn't do to help him stay alive. Once you're married, NOTHING is "my problem" or "your problem" it's OUR hurdle. As a couple we have to gain enough strength to jump it together. This man has a second chance at life, but he needs his wife now more than ever. I can see where she would be stressed. The medications do cost A LOT of money, but his life is priceless. If she is stressed out, then she did the right thing by going to Dr. Phil. That is the best thing that she can do for both her husband and herself so that she can get the strength to overcome this with him. I can't wait to hear what Dr. Phil has to say. Good luck Mary!
I couldn't imagine calling my husband a bad name - it would truely break my heart.
In part i know it is because of bad past relationships that I appreciate my husband soo much - but I know that I would rather live in a one room dirt floor shack without running water WITH my husband - then live without him. We're both working hard to get our affairs in order in case something were to happen to either of us. But we're both in our mid-to late 30's and starting late - so we could very well be in their shoes one day and I chose mounting bills and my husband by my side- and will appreciate and thank God every day for those bills!
I was glad that Dr. Phil brought up... what if it were reverse and she had a health issue and the bills were because of her illness.
Actually I was just talking to my 94 year old grandmother today on the phone and I said that we needed to buy a treadmill - that there were other things I would rather buy... but my husbands health is more important then any other materialistic thing we might buy for our home.
