Relationships & Health...Is love really that strong?

Tweet

This might seem like a strange question... For a married couple, it's the easiest to handle the diagnosis of a possible life affecting/threatening disorder of the man or wife, as they have made a commitment towards each other to stay with each other for better or worste. For a couple whos dating, there is most probably a 50/50 chance that they would break up. But how would you react when you find out that the person you want to start dating, has a life affecting condition? I am not talking of a sexually transmittable disease. I am talking about a genetic disorder that will not affect you as a partner, but that might be passed on to subsequent children. How much are you willing to sacrifice for the sake of love? Would you be willing to knowingly enter into a relationship with a guy who you know has physical difficulties? Where does the line get drawn, between love and a disability... I watched a program on tv, called "My horrific story" or something like that. There is this one lady, who is a dwarf with a husband that's almost five times her height and I remember thinking..."Theyre love for each other must be so deep for them to overcome such a huge hurdle..." I mean, it's not like she started shrinking while they were dating or married. This guy knew about her difficulties the moment he saw her for the first time, yet still they are together. Is love truely that strong?
