Nobody wonders about your motivations when you're married to a attractive and successful person. The wonder and interest comes when you gracefully handle a challenging situation. When people don't understand why you stay with a husband/wife that you must care for like a child, they ask and are willing to notice what you do and why. That's when you can explain your beliefs and values to a genuinely interested audience. <br />I just pray that I have the faith and fortitude to do such a thing if the occasion arises!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320628104948300901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808781059813824798.post-42676722324172585032013-05-06T17:03:15.487-07:002013-05-06T17:03:15.487-07:00I wish I could say it surprises me.

But when my mom was diagnosed with schizophrenia, her own doctor told my dad he ought to divorce her and take us kids, because she'd never be the same person he married. <br />Luckily for us, my dad didn't take that advice. I think it still makes him angry that the doctor said it. But there are still some people in this world who take vows like "for better or for worse" seriously. Even when it isn't easy, and there are authority figures who will give you plenty of excuses for taking the easy way out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808781059813824798.post-67764150112198422512013-05-03T12:09:36.777-07:002013-05-03T12:09:36.777-07:00Yeah, wow.
