No matter what. If I ever got ill or developed Alzheimer's I would want to know that no matter what, my spouse would be there for me. It doesn't matter if I would remember it the next day or not. I would be there for her. ALWAYS. When I got married, it was for better or worse. No matter what.

That is not an accident - not from our perspective nor from God's. Does that mean there have never been times when one of us or both of us were frustrated with one another and went through some rough times? Of course we have had challenges in good and bad times but the vows we took before God and witnesses meant something to us and still do. I could not imagine even beginning to think that is would be ok to divorce Pat in case of any illness or any situation that is not convenient or challeging. Pat Robertson in my opinion should repent and ask the Lord to allow him to set the record straight publicly and possibly lead those astray back to the fold. This guy is really out of touch in the reality of God's word. God ordained marriage between and man and woman until death us do part, no matter what and that is just what Pat and I intend to do.

My first wife had an encyclopedia of heath issuses. She went thru menopause for almost two years. She treated me like I was less than dirt. She started sleeping in another room and we never touch each other since. Things started to improve after 2 years and I was really excited that this bad phase was over. Thats when things got worse. She had a stroke and was left paralized on her left side. She was hospitalized for almost 6 months. Her health went downhill for 4 years. The last 5 months of her life she was in the hospital or the nursing home. I tried my best to take take care of her even in the worst of times. I believe this was my witness to her. I am not sure were she is today. I don't belive she was saved although her sister keeps telling me she was. I tried my best to show her Jesus by the way I cared for her. The thought of divorce because she was sick and needed a lot of care was never considered. I can't imagine leaving someone when they need you most. I am appalled that another believer could suggest such a thing. Don Here is something that hits home. My first wife had an encyclopedia of heath issuses. She went thru menopause for almost two years.

I happened to hear, on radio, a recording of this 700 Club Q&A yesterday; I heard about the wife's severe dementia, and that the husband said he is "seeing someone else." In today's secular culture, does that mean "committing adultery?" In response, Pat. R commented that "if he is going to do something (immoral?) he should go ahead and divorce her. Even if a divorce could be friendly and painless (unlikely), it still violates the sacred vow two people made to God. And our marriages are to show the world the relationship between Christ and His Church. Thanks, Ian, for taking a Biblical stand on this principle. My husband has suffered from Alzheimer's for five years. He is still functional, but I can see deterioration in his brain function every day -- in language comprehension, memory and personality. I KNOW what the future holds, unless Christ returns soon! But I also know God will "not leave me nor forsake me," and I know I will not forsake my husband of 58 years.
