Feelings are nice, but inevitably life gets a bit rough and that's where the value of vows and commitment are so valuable. We just returned from my in-laws 50th anniversary celebration. My husband learned how to respect and love me through the example of his parents. We've been married for 23 years, which is probably unusal when one spouse is bipolar. When dealing with mental illness it is a real plus to have someone to stand by you and love unconditionally (no one is perfect). I remember one day when I was in a mixed state and my husband said "I will always love you, no matter what." The look in his eyes showed that there would be no stopping him. He meant it and still means it.
Marriage is alive and well.Chris A.
