    Jesus centered Love of the truest kind. Once found, could never be replaced. Not to mention why would it ever have to be replaced when it is eternal.

    A heard a story about a couple who loved each other dearly. One of them were struck with a life threatening illness that put them in the hospital for a lengthy period of time and the doctors said it wasn't looking good. So they got married right there in the room.

    The movie "A walk to remember" is an inspiration :o)

  • The world may see it as foolish, but what I see here is the heart of a giving and loving person. As someone who lives with chronic illness I feel compelled to say that love is such a blessing and emotionally healing gift. To anyone who feels the ability to continue to love someone dealing with illness, especially one that is taking a persons life, you truly are a blessing to the person you love. What an amazing gift from one human to another. Blessings!

  • I don't think it's foolish at all, if I am in that position, I would definitely marry the woman I love!

  • Im all for it. May we all pray for them!
