I read that book, and although very good, it is slanted toward the couple dealing with a terminal illness. What about couples where one or both are just, plain ol' disabled, and have some well periods interspersed with sickness? There's so much guilt for the sick person when you have to depend on the spouse to take care of you! Especially if you haven't been married all that long of a time. Two healthy people get married, and soon after one person comes down a chronic illness or a series of chronic illnesses. (Such can be the case with diabetes and diabetic complications - I just found out I have chronic pancreatitis). We really do need more marriage coping skills for when one spouse becomes the caregiver.
