[QUOTE="Pádraigín Ní Saorlaith, post: 74409247, member: 417194"] I am deeply sorry for what you and your wife are going through and I will keep you both in my prayers. I also could have phrased my reply less harshly and more clearly. While I don't have any personal experience with Alzheimer's specifically, I am familiar with Parkinson's. I watched my grandmother's best friend suffer from Parkinson's Disease. She was like a second mother to my dad, practically a member of my extended family. She passed away a few years ago. All the while, her husband cared for her to the best of his ability. MS is not tied to dementia like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are, but my uncle suffers from it. My aunt has frequently been pressured by friends to leave him and their three children because of his MS. I'm not suggesting that people in your situation should work themselves to a breaking point. We all need spiritual support, especially when we and those we love are suffering. The two couples I have referenced sought and found support among their churches, their friends, and their families. I drew the analogy of Christian marriage representing the Church's relationship with Christ from Ephesians 5:22-33. And you're right. Whatever the etymology, that doesn't make what those "Christians" did right. I shouldn't have nitpicked that. [/QUOTE]
