Would your marriage make it through tragedy?

If something happened out of your control would your marriage survive? Say one of you would become ill with a debilitating illness or were injured in an accident. Your spouse relied on you to become their caregiver and they were in and out of the hospital. How would you cope?Would your marriage make it through tragedy?
Yes, I think it would, but without being there and going thru it no-one knows for sure.Would your marriage make it through tragedy?
It all depends on the couple I have been married twice my first did not last three years as I was in the Army and she did not like the separation But my second marriage lasted nearly 30 years and we had been through the mill major separations because of active service and wars the loss of a child and various family tragedies because of illness and eventually the loss of my wife through cancer after many difficult years of her illness. I always like to think that we had a special bond and understanding. It was not a case of can I cope it was a case of I will cope I must cope she needs me to cope If you have not been through it you would not fully understand and I am not explaining it very well hope that answered your question
Yes, we signed up for in sickness and in health. We love each other and wouldn't end it easily. The only way I will end a marriage is over cheating or abuse. Nothing else.





So yeah, it would suck, but we would push through it because that is the way it would have to be. He's still him, I'm still me, that would not change.
yes , and yes to all accounts.





We have survived illness, injury, adultery, addiction. and much more.





It is communication , and seeing your partner as your other half that makes it through the tough times. You must see your partner as your self to have the strength to continue on.
Mine did not even make it through my second tour of duty in Iraq. 2 months before coming home she sent me an e-mail telling me she was applying for a divorce. You may call her a lot of names, but you can never accuse her of having an ounce of class.
No one can give you an honest answer to that scenario!How ever folks can give you a answer that is conveniently acceptable.


I doubt if someone will say they will abandon their spouse if they love them now or at the time of the scenario.
Ours has survived suicide, Prison sentencing, Drug addiction, Unplanned pregnancies. However it only took the kids leaving home to damage it.
It's hard to say. People's responses to a life-changing tragedy are unpredictable.
Yes our marriage would survive a tragedy. I would cope by remembering why I was there with him.
It would be really difficult, but based on the way we work together to solve problems, how supportive we are of one another, and how we resolve arguments, I think we would survive.
