Listen Later

Chronic illness doesn't just affect the person who lives with it, it affects the marriage, the home, the daily rhythms, and the emotional world of both spouses.

In Episode 270 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra open an honest, compassionate conversation about what it's really like to be married to a chronically ill spouse. From emotional exhaustion to disrupted plans to living with uncertainty, this episode offers hope, understanding, and practical tools for couples walking this difficult road.

You'll discover:

  • The hidden emotional weight carried by both the ill spouse and the caregiver.
  • How chronic illness impacts intimacy, communication, and expectations.
  • Biblical encouragement for couples facing long-term suffering.
  • Ways to stay connected when pain, fatigue, or limitations get in the way.
  • Practical strategies to support your spouse without losing yourself.
  • How to protect your marriage from resentment, burnout, and isolation.

Whether you're living this reality or want to love others who are, this episode brings comfort, clarity, and Christ-centered encouragement for marriages facing chronic illness.
