Parenting a Sick Child - Does it Strengthen Marital Bonds?

It is always distressing when your little one falls ill; more so when it is a complicated health issue.
Besides effective treatment and a round-the-clock vigil for the child, you will have to lean upon your extra reserves of strength and patience to keep the home running as smoothly as possible.
Both partners endeavor to provide the best possible care for the child and share other household responsibilities.
A bond between two individuals becomes stronger not just by sharing good times together but by also being supportive in times of adversity.
Never mind how much support a family receives from friends and other outside resources.
When a family member is down, this becomes a special bonding time with everyone chipping in to do their best for the sibling, partner or offspring.
This is the time when the parents rise above their petty differences and work towards bringing a change for the better in their children's lives.
A partner may have bitterly complained a couple of days ago about the lack of attention of her spouse.
She may have confided to a friend that she was disappointed with her partner's passive attitude towards life in general, saying that her married life was now bereft of all charm.
But today, when the child needs both parents by his side she is pleasantly surprised and infinitely thankful that her partner becomes her source of strength, helping in every possible way to nurture the child back to health! The endless hours of waiting in the hospital corridors provides time for retrospection...
this is when the wife realizes that both partners had become so used to one another and knew each other so well that there had been nothing left to talk about.
Both love each other deeply, but with life moving on and priorities changing, the children and running of the home seemed to be taking away much of their time and attention, making them drift apart.
Now, in the face of adversity, the partners had came together again bonding more strongly, always there to help each other out..
..
Some couples are not as lucky.
Adversity may create a greater fissure in their already strained relations.
It is for them that there is so much of guidance and help available from many useful resources.
Sometimes, the problems between spouses may be of so sensitive a nature that they find it hard to confide in other people.
That is where an e-book can help.
No running to the nearby bookstore to browse for a "Save My Marriage" treatise under the inquisitive gaze of the store keeper, no more contacting a counselor and feeling embarrassed to tell all...
E-books help you solve the problems you may have without divulging it to people you don't want to confide in.
Usually written by experts, most well reviewed e-books help you put your life back on track.
