I thought of this topic before I realized how well it coordinated with Valentine's day! So that works! Yesterday at work, I observed 2 different scenarios of how married couples support and work with each other to achieve health. One couple struggled supporting each other, there was issues on both sides. It was sad to see how a couple are living with serious health issues pushing each other away. The other couple, who have quickly become my favorite- are a gleaming example of not only supporting each other reach health, but also how they work in their relationship. The husband has serious health issues that would make him appear to be in a weaker state in his life...which in some ways he is-physically. But oh my goodness, 3-5 times a week his wife takes him to the Healthy Living Center to work out and strengthen his body. Due to health issues, he comes across very emotionless and quiet. His wife, however just keeps him going. She is smiley and energetic. She shows true unconditional love. I couldn't imagine looking at your husband who has led and protected you for so many years, in such a state. And for the husband to see his wife be able to lift her dumbbell higher than him, must be such a discouragement. But through this I can see a great amount of humility the husband displays. The way they work together is amazing.
Do you have support in your health? How are you showing support in someone else's health? You may have to pick up a couple extra characteristics such as humility, patience and will. But we live in a sinful world, and our bodies ARE deteriorating, but let's help each other live to our max!
Peace, love & cutest old couple ever, Jennifer
