From a Dr’s wife.
Every marriage has its Challenges. The most common challenge Dr’s spouses face is related to schedules. How? When doctors are on duty, their partners cannot expect them all to themselves. Doctors’ families still can’t count on them to be home in time for dinner, parties, or other daily programs. When an emergency arises, they have to go and intervene. Being married to a doctor, I learned that our program could change at any time. For example, if a patient’s situation becomes complicated or someone collapses, Dr needs to help. I learned to be flexible by putting myself in other people’s shoes. I learned to be flexible in pursuing my own educational and professional goals and dreams. Sometimes my spouse has to work during holidays or celebration days, and we may have to celebrate another day or go on without him.
It is sometimes difficult to plan things. What do I do? I propose we study the feasibility, pray, and follow the rest. Doctors encounter many challenges; spouses are there to support them. Spouses need to love them, understand the challenges of their profession, and accept them, which will lead them to be flexible. Being married to a doctor is difficult. But not miserable. When you support a doctor, you also care indirectly for the sick. Every role we play in society is essential. Even if you don’t feel like you help much in the community like your partner, you only need to trust your abilities and gifts to play a role because everyone in the world has a different role to play.
Lesson: Since life doesn’t always go as planned, let’s stay focused on the positive things in our lives and do our best to keep our relationships strong even when the going gets tough. Our attitude on unexpected situations matters more than unforeseen situations. And it is this attitude that will help us live a happy and satisfying life.
