I remember one time in my psychology class when my professor asked everyone a question about whether or not we could ever date and/or stay with someone who is chronically ill. That was an interesting question. Now, seeing how I sometimes feel joint pain in my hands, and at the age of 20, I am afraid as if I might be facing arthritis. Is there really any point in hoping that I (a male) can raise children of my own that will not end up living with my illness? And if there's no point in that, then could someone please tell me what good there is in remaining in a long-term relationship (that later turns into a marriage), especially if it eventually becomes too painful to express myself physically with a woman?
I also recall reading somewhere that 85% of all marriages involving chronic illnesses fail.
