    I am a Christian, as well, and a cancer survivor. One of the greatest struggles during my treatment(s) was the issues between my husband and I. We made it through, but it took a little bit of patience and understanding from BOTH of us! Feel free to email me if you'd like to talk.

    The fact that you are a Christian should help you to enhance your strength, faith and hope.

    What kind of cancer did your hausband have. If it was prostate, sexual dysfunction could become a problem in the marriage.

    It does appear tha your husband requires excessive attention. Are you feeding into it or have you tried to make him realize that he had benn re-born. I am a prostate cancer survivor myself.Please reply!!!
