Hello and Welcome to My Love Journey, if you new make sure to check the other post out with the same title just different number.
Before I begin you might feel like this question is connected with P.11 to extent. I actually have a few songs to go with the post. I truly did get inspired by them. Lets see how should I start the question today. If you dating/marry a person and God forbid they get some bad news about their health. Would your love for them change? What if they have accident & is paralyze ? Would you stay or would you run? Some people marry/date for wrong reasons: money,looks, sex, etc. So my question today/night Would Your Love Overcome All Obstacles? Each of the videos I choose to share tonight, says a lot when it comes to different things that go on in different people life. But most important thing, GOD never leave us. I feel like I forgot something, if you wondering how I come up with my question for My Love Journey, I do come up with them off the type of my head.
Couldn’t help myself I had to share another one. Do enjoy them all or just one, all up to you. I love to hear ya’ll opinions & thoughts on the question. Even if you have video and you want to share with me please do post it in your comment. God Bless 🙂
Poets Afterthought 
Get ready for another long comment sweetie, you asked! 😉 Well, you know my story PJ and how Dave got diagnosed with evil cancer on June 3rd of 1998. Never, ever did it cross my mind to up and leave him. We were in for the fight together, we fought for 5 years and he lost his battle May 30th of 2003. I would have done anything for him, taken his pain, taken the cancer myself and just whatever. Of course I took care of him after chemo. and the out of remission times, he was never a burden. That’s what love is, that was our kind of love anyway. PJ, how could anyone just run at the sign of illnes? I know, some people sadly do! Dave and I had a forever bond from the heat and soul, that’s what is needed when this type of thing happens. Also, I have to add…Chris Medina what a beautiful voice, their story is amazing. I was stomping mad when he didn’t go forward last year on American Idol! His dedication to his fiance is how it should be. Can’t believe you picked him and his song out of the three, he is of course my favorite. Did I leave room for anyone elese to comment? lol I just wrote a post about American Idol, I swear you are readng my mind PJ! 🙂

Gabby,
I knew you would be my first person to comment and touch my heart with your words. I agree with you he should’ve made it farther then he did. My brother play that one song a lot and I have always love it, because that how love should be. No matter what they go through. Its sad some people don;t think the way we think. They quick to run when it get to be to much for them. You know I don’t mind your long comment, that mean you actually put a lot of thought into it. YAY! You a true example to love! Thank you for sharing your opinions and thoughts with me tonight. God Bless You 🙂

I have counseled people on relationships, and I ask them a question I asked myself over and over again as a teenager: “Is this a person you will be faithful to if they become paralyzed tomorrow and spend their life in a wheelchair?” I think the question of health strikes at the motivation for relationships. Our western culture unfortunately leaves a very vague understanding in the minds of people as to what commitment means. The vast majority of stories emphasize loving people for who they are and accepting them, but they rarely address the changes which may occur after you have decided you will. People are ever changing. I read a story of a couple recently who had been married for 25 years when the wife decided she was a lesbian. She loved her husband, and did not decide this for any sexual reasons. She shared the thoughts with him and he was devastated. They had 3 children, and a fairly secure marriage up to that point. They stayed together. She has remained faithful to him, and honest about her thoughts on gender preference. Together they have worked through it, but how many people are prepared for that after 25 years of marriage? Commitment is something that a person does toward another person. If I commit, the choice is mine, not theirs, and so it stands to reason that they should not be able to make me “uncommit”. It is always my choice. They can leave me, they can abuse me, they can ignore me, but a heart commitment can only be made or broken by the person who controls the heart. I believe it is very possible to commit to someone so strongly, but I’m afraid it does not occur as often as it could. We are a culture of many choices, and we are easily dissatisfied. We are trained to look for the next big thing. We are not trained for endurance. I have never quite fit the culture though. I have endured much in my relationship and we have always stayed true. We have survived things that would have long ago devastated other relationships. It isn’t that we haven’t wanted to give up; it is that we made a choice not to, and stuck to it. Great thoughts 🙂

Vampire,
thank you for sharing your opinions and thoughts on this topic. I see you had a lot to say and like how you put some actually thought into it here. I believe a seen a show about something like that. You know now a days so many relationships or not willingly to fight to be together. Any little thing can set them off and they want to quit a relationship. I know I could add so much more to your response, I’m actually at the hospital getting ready to get my transfusion, so look back to see whatelse I had to say to your response. God Bless 🙂

Well, that’s when love is truly tested now isn’t it?I think of Christopher reeves (Superman) when he got paralyzed and how depressed he got over it because he felt so pathetic and felt like a burden for his wife, but His wife loved him, and I mean LOVED him even when he was insecure about his paralysis and felt many a time that she should leave him to find someone better. She didn’t give up on him ever because that is how deep her love was for him. To me, that’s a soul-mate divinely connected by God. God knew what would happen to Christopher and guided him to the spouse that would literally be there for him in sickness and in health. When people make such vows, it’s not just a promise for the sake of saying it to sound pretty, it’s a divine covenant that is unshakeable and unbreakable when the person in all honesty and sincerity believe in the committment made in such a sacred vow. When you really love someone, you embrace all of them even when they seem to be losing it or are disfigured because it is that agape love that keeps people together and is able to heal the soul from its brokeness. All I can say, Is I hope that God blesses me with a love like that from my spouse and for my spouse.

journey, bless you, dear girl, for broaching this topic of continuing to love and support someone, no matter what. I have seen love actually grow deeper and deeper through this type of support for a loved one who experiences loss of freedom, income, physical capacities, mental capacities, emotional health, etc. The muscles we use the most grown the strongest. Our souls expand as our love expands.

Hi PJ,
I know I’m a little behind in responding, but I wouldn’t miss this one…I’m sure you already know my answer, as it coincides with Gabby’s. Her story is heartbreaking, yet, endearing because of the love they shared. My husband I haven’t experienced anything to that degree, although, two years ago, he was diagnosed with melanoma, the only skin cancer that kills. Fortunately, they found it early, so he went through all the procedures, but they removed it and he’s fine. He now has check-ups every three months. At the time, though, all horrible and crazy thoughts ran through our minds…what if? A thousand times, we wondered, what if? No matter what had happened, I would have been there and will be there for him, as he will be for me. That’s what true love is all about. In sickness and in health, whether married or not. You take the good with the bad and you get through those times. If people only stay in relationships when passion is strong and life is good, that’s very shallow, because that way of thinking is not realistic. I know two people who have spouses in wheelchairs and they’re in it for the long run, to take care, love and support their loved ones…anyway, this is a wonderful question for us all to think about, so thank you for this post and have a blessed day~ Hugs!
