In sickness and in health
In sickness and in health applies more to your kids than your spouse. In my case, when my wife gets sick, I have minimul duties other than to keep the meds flowing and let her sleep.
In the case of my kids, I have a lot more to do. Katy came down with a 106 degree fever this past week. That meant giving her a bath to get her temp down, getting her dressed and to the emergency room, picking up the prescription while holding a tired baby at 2 am and then holding her until 7 am when she finally fell asleep. Then getting up at 10 am to help with her sister while my wife went on to work.
When my wife is sick, I don't have to hold her, rock her to sleep, dress her etc. Toddlers need that and more. So when you have kids, remember, its in sickness and in health. Especially the sickness!
