In traditional marital vows, we promise to love, honour and care for our spouse until death do us part. But, when we take these vows, we rarely think about becoming a caregiver for our spouse later in life.<\/p>\n
We all look forward to our later years, hoping to experience a relaxing retirement with the person we love. However, this doesn\u2019t always eventuate, as one spouse may become ill and require constant care. In this instance the promise of \u2018death do us part\u2019 can feel like a stressful responsibility rather than a privilege.<\/p>\n
