Caring for my husband Member since March 06, 2010My husband and I are both 75. We have been married for 51 years. We have 2 daughters, Six grand and 1 great-grand. My marriaqge has much improved in the latter years. Earlier in our marriage there was a lot of negative stuff going on. My survival is based on my faith and trust in God. I would not have been able to survive without the Lord. It is an absolute necessity to have the peace and joy that He gives in hard times especially. It is also important to forgive. Carrying a load of hurt and pain can cripple you and dry you up inside. Once I truly forgave my husband could I get on with the process of truly being free and loving him. Also it is so good to have prayer partners. Just knowing that someone is praying for you is worth its weight in gold. I also know that having others that you can share with is important also. While there may be some things that you may not be able to talk about freely (those you can certainly pray about).
