When I met my wife, she was ill with several ailments, Asthma, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Diabetes 2.

So, seeing as I was so in love with her, I prayed to God to give me half of each of her ailments to ease the burden on her.

Guess what? Yep. I developed fairly mild versions of all of the above ailments and my wife's ailments did ease somewhat.

why not pray for them to go away completely?

That was phase 1.

Didn't work, so I tried phase 2.

I bet I'm not the only wife on here who wishes she had a husband as daft as you!

We should all share the burdens of those we love.

She was hurting so bad yesterday with her arthritis that I said the same prayer.

After 23 years, I still love her very much. Don't always show it, perhaps, but she's my special lady.

Reading this made me feel quite weepy but in a good way because even if you cannot take away the physical pain, it must be a great mental support for her to have someone who cares.

sincere best wishes to you both.
