"Do you live 'for better or worse?'"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

A couple celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary recently which is pretty remarkable these days. They married young and were pretty like much like any other couple until nine years into their marriage, a tractor trailer smashed into the car she was driving, and killed their 6 and 7 year old sons. She suffered severe head trauma and a compound fracture. Her husband was told she may never walk again. He determined to care for her every need, every day.

Well, today she walks and is a successful real estate agent. They were told their marriage wouldn’t survive as 84% of couples who suffer this kind of tragedy divorce.

She attributes their life success to a deep faith in God and their being present with each other every step of the way. "I do believe," she writes, "that when you take your wedding vows, you need to truly mean them—for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer."

The next time your spouse does something that irritates you, remember some time she or he cared for you. Then listen to life and make a married life.
