A member asked:

What marriage advice can you give me if i am married to someone with an incurable disease?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

My sympathies: Very difficult question without knowing details of incurable disease, mental status, amulatory status, age of spouse & how much nursing care &/or support is necessary. Is this a malignant or a progressively dgenerative condition. True marriage is there in sickness & in health & is part of what hopefully is a wonderful commitment. Best get advice from dr. & objective relatives & friends.

Marriage therapy: Ask your doctor for a referral to a marriage therapist who can help you both talk openly about your husband's disease and also help you with realistic coping strategies. Best.
