What does covenant love look like when "for better or for worse” becomes painfully real?
In this deeply moving episode of Wisdom for Wives, Tara sits down with DeLayne Haga to talk about her marriage to Chris, their journey through his Stage IV lung cancer diagnosis, and the kind of love that is forged through sacrifice, suffering, faith, and unwavering commitment.
DeLayne shares how walking alongside Chris through some of the most difficult years of their lives taught her what it truly means to become one flesh—and how his faith in the midst of adversity strengthened her own relationship with the Lord.
Just three days before Chris passed away, he made one final act of sacrificial love: despite struggling to breathe, he insisted on accompanying DeLayne to the funeral home to make his own arrangements so she would not have to carry those decisions alone.
It is a powerful picture of covenant love—love that protects, serves, sacrifices, and remains.
DeLayne also shares how God carried her through grief, what that season taught her about His faithfulness, and how the love and lessons formed through her marriage to Chris prepared her for the beautiful chapter God would later write in her life.
This conversation is tender, honest, and full of wisdom for every woman who wants to understand a love that goes far beyond feelings.
