Standby-ing your marriage vows..

A particular phrase from the marriage vows that set me thinking hard:

"Will you love her, comfort her, honour and keep her in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful to her, so long as you both shall live?"

I see myself not an up-to-standard wife, especially when my hubby fell ill these few days...I feel its really quite hard to take care of ur partner when he/she fell ill..Firstly, you must have the optimism to cheer him/her up, Secondly you must have the persistence/determination to do your part well in taking care of him/her. You must not lose the morale when he/she doesn't seem to get well for the first few days.. I really admire those people who took care of their partners in times of sickness, especially those with terminal sickness or disabilities... I am sure it is not easy.. I understand the person who is ill, feels the suffering.. Similarly, I also understand that their loved ones who are taking care of them with every hour and every minute of their time, are also not having any good time either..

So, please appreciate your loved ones whom took good care of u when u r ill and weak...

For me, I hope to be a better wife to him, cuz I am neither good in my culinary skills nor diligent in my housekeeping...sigh... I think my attitude is also not positive enough...I just feel I am not good enough yet..I have not put in my best efforts yet... So ashamed of myself...
