I married an angel

I just want to say how lucky I am to have the wife that I do. She is an amazing woman and always has supported me. She has been there for me through the good, the bad, and the ugly. She has ran me to the ER in the early hours in the morning numerous times. She constantly monitors me and makes sure I am taking my medication on time. When things get bad she always reassures me that its going to be alright. She has allowed me to rest way more than I what I ought to in the last few months..... She gets our kids off to school each and every day, works during the day and then cheerleading practice in the evening. She is a super woman!

I am so blessed that God literally sent me an angel. I don't deserve her but I hope and pray that I can give back to her all that she has given to me.

I would love to hear about your all's significant other! A good support system is key when you're facing anxiety.

Awwwww! This is so great you guys:) I think we can all agree that having a supportive spouse makes this disorder just a little bit easier to handle. I know my hubby wants me to get better just as much as I want to get better. And having that is something I will always be grateful for.

I am so happy in your name Cornell :) I feel exactly the same about my husband.

I'd like to share in this joy right along with you! I also truly believe I married an Angel. My Hubby has stuck by my side through some very rough tides with dreadful currents. We've had our ups and downs, but by golly, we pulled through it.

I remember one time I thanked him for sticking by me and being so strong. And he said to me: "I" didn't do it,..."we" are doing it together!

(Awww!) How wonderful is that.

So huzzah for all our wonderful spouses, partners, friends and family. Great thread! :)

Cornell, I've had a similar experience!! I was certain something bad was going to happen to me and I was terrified to fall asleep because I felt so sick and my sweet husband said the same thing to me. He told me to rest and that I would feel better after some sleep and that he would stay awake and keep an eye on me. Just knowing that he was looking out for me, I feel instantly asleep and he was right; the next morning I got to start over and felt much better. You don't worry about those daughters of yours. There are still wonderful men out there. Tell them to always give people a chance, even if it doesn't seem like it would work out. My husband and I are polar opposites as far as interests go for the most part, I didn't have an instant attraction to him and my gut reaction was to say no when he was asking me out, but we became friends and I have it a chance and thank the good Lord I did! He is my best-friend, my sanity, my rock, my partner and one of the soulmates that God has put in my life.

MissGigi, thank you so much for those kind words. It's so refreshing to come to a place where everyone is a friend who we can truly share our troubles with and a place where we aren't judged but instead offered words of encouragement. I am blessed to be among all of you!

What a great thread Cornell. It's always nice to hear when a husband appreciates all the hard work that the wife puts in. A woman, by her God-given nature, is a nurturer. Sounds like you do have quite a wonderful wife!

I'll just take a second to be thankful for my husband. While he's not a big nurturer, he does try his darndest to understand what I am going through. He never quite gets it, but oh well! He has always been there for me through this anxiety and before this anxiety surfaced. He's not an emotional guy, which is perfect because I am too much of an emotional lady. He keeps me in check when I am so worried about my health. He points me to Bible passages when I am at my worst. He's a great Dad to our children too. He would let me rest if I could just sit down and rest, but I am too much of a busy bee most of the time. But when my anxiety was at it's worst, he did allow me to lay in bed on a lot of days when I just couldn't get out of bed.

Praise God for the strength he gives me through my husband. *End rant. :)

Tma,

Thanks for your post... You are very blessed! You don't only have a good, supportive husband but also a Godly husband so you get the best of both worlds!

I guess I am "old school" but I truly believe in the saying that "a husband and wife that's prays together, stays together".

So happy for you TMA!
