In Sickness and In Health

In sickness and in health
what exactly does that mean

standing at their bedside
telling them 'all will be fine'
holding one another's hand
going through it together

sharing simple lives
loving each other heart-to-soul
through words or in silence
spending time together

what does it mean
it means never-ending love

Hello Anna M.Shepard, so nice to meet you. In sickness and in health. Those are words part of a wedding vow. That couples speak as part of the wedding vows. Enjoy your evening my friend.
