husband & wife

Weeks ago I met a senior couple that insist to stay together, even the spouse have dementia.  This is the third loving couples that I’d been met for the past couples of years.

First couple, the wife never let the husband who had dementia after a fall incident to move in the nursing home. Though, it's really hard for the whole family but, is, the best for the patient at the same time.

The second couple, move in the nursing home with the very sick husband. Shortly after the husband die and the wife stay at the nursing home.

The third couple, the wife has been taking care of her husband who has dementia for 5 years, not long ago, she recovered from broken leg while taking care of her husband, finally agree to move in the nursing home together, for she can still take care of her husband every day.

Traditional Wedding Vows: 

"I, [name], take you [name], to be my [husband/wife], to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.

The traditional wedding vows, I wonder who even remember it after the wedding ceremony or how many couples can really make it.
