Staying with ill spouse can be a matter of faith
The movie "The Vow" is an adaptation of a book about a young married couple whose serious car accident left the wife unable to recognize her husband. In fact, she thought she was not married."There's always an obligation, I think, to keep faith with your spouse, but the shape that that can take, morally speaking, can vary," said Darlene Fozard Weaver, an ethicist at Villanova University.
There are all kinds of dynamics to consider: Is the ill spouse now abusive? Can the healthy spouse manage the necessary care?
"The Vow" is based on the true story of Kim and Krickitt Carpenter. Physical therapist Scott Madsen watched the husband move from caretaker to coach to, eventually, an accepted mate. "As she got better, then the relationship became better as well, more of a normal relationship," said Madsen.
Kim Carpenter writes in the book that some people suggested divorce. That was not his choice.
Greg Ayotte, director of consumer services for the Brain Injury Association of America, said there's a misconception that most spouses of brain-injured patients - people who have been in a car accident, or had a fall, stroke or tumor - head to divorce court. But two recent studies show that most married brain-injured patients remain wed.
