In Sickness and In Health (Marriage Vows Series)- with Chris and Tamara Satterfield
My cousins, the Satterfields, who are battling cancer and heart issues in their young marriage join us today as we discuss “in sickness and in health.” As we continue in our marriage vows series, we’ll discuss what happens when a spouse becomes very ill. Sadly, serious illness is a contributor to divorce in many marriages, believe it or not. When spouses should normally draw closer together in unity to overcome illness, not all couples find the strength or will to do this.
Most people don’t expect to deal with life-threatening illnesses when they get married. However, that’s exactly what happened to Chris and Tamara. It’s what happens to many couples as well. In sickness and in health doesn’t just refer to physical sickness. What about emotional health? What happens when a spouse is riddled with emotional sickness?
By committing to love your spouse whether they’re in good health or if they fall ill, you are vowing your unconditional love and support to him/her. Too often, couples breeze through their wedding vows without really giving thought to what they’re committing to. Tamara and Chris Satterfield share very openly about their battle with cancer and heart health issues in their marriage. They talk about the highs and lows of marriage in this season and the importance of grace, empathy, and communication.
