A very short but wonderfully-written book. Robertson McQuilkin reflects on his wife, Muriel's experience of Alzheimer's, and how her disease brought them closer together over a twenty-year period. Before succumbing to the effects of Alzheimer's, Muriel hosted a Christian radio-show and spoke at Christian meetings. Before leaving to care full-time for Muriel, Robertson was president of Columbia Bible College. A truly eloquent reflection on those simple words "'til death do us part'. (

This short little book is one of the most inspirational and moving books I have ever read. It is the true story of a marriage where both partners exhibit self-sacrificing love that is all too uncommon today. I am humbled by this extraordinary story of God's love played out in a marriage. (

Dedicated to those Muriel loved
almost as much as she loved me,
the fruit of our love:
Mardi, Bob, David, Jan, Amy, and Kent

We were visiting friends in Florida the summer of 1978 when Muriel, my wife, started to repeat the same story she had told us five minutes earlier.

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk.

It was a mystery to me, until a distinguished oncologist, who lives constantly with dying people, told me, "Almost all women stand by their men; very few men stand by their women."

There is that subterranean grief that won't go away. It increases daily as the lights go out. I would be just as alone if I had never known here as she once was, but the loneliness of the night hours is because I did know her. Do I grieve for her loss or mine?

The five-column headline read Love Helps Alzheimer's Victims Survive, Study Says. The reporter wrote: "What's love got to do with it? Just about everything, says a researcher who studied what happens in a marriage when a spouse gets Alzheimer's disease."
I was there when Dr. Lore Wright gave that report. In her study of forty-seven couples over a two-year period, she predicted with 100 percent accuracy who would die, based on her analysis of the love relationship between husband and wife.

Once, before we signed off for sleep, I was winning an argument with irresistible logic when she raised up on one elbow, transfixed me with fire in her gray-green eyes, and said, "Well let me tell you something. Logic's not everything, and feeling's not nothing."
