Please
offer a prayer for married couples with chronically ill kids. Pray that
they find God's grace and draw strength from the sacrament of marriage
to face the daily challenges of raising special needs kids. Pray that
God gives them peace and comfort through the sacrament of marriage and
the courage to work on the problems they face together with God at the
center.
It
is SO hard to work on a marriage when life seems to revolve
around one medical challenge, surgery or illness after another. Often
times, we keep our heads down dealing with the medical crisis at hand
and forget to think about our marriage. Sometimes, we forget to place
God at the center.
I just wrote about a family who lost
their health insurance because of Obamacare. I cannot imagine it,
though the reality scares me. I'm offering an extra prayer for those
folks today- we know there are thousands of people losing their
insurance, many with chronically ill kids. Pray for their situation to
improve, but also pray for their marriages. The stress can be
unbearable.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and your marriage. When times get tough, pray to our Lord. Also, try to remember what made you fall in love and stay in love.
Marriages and relationships in general are hard work. Facing long term health crises add to the stress for all involved. It can be too easy to get caught up in the stress, to take things out on each other, and to forget that the other person is your partner in all things.
I hope and pray for you.
