One morning, she struggled to pick an outfit. She remarked that all her dresses had become too big. Suddenly, I realized she’d lost weight, making her easier to carry.

It struck me—she had buried pain and bitterness in her heart. Unconsciously, I reached out and touched her head.

Our son entered, saying, “Daddy, it’s time to carry Mommy outside.” For him, this act was essential. She gestured for him to come closer and hugged him tightly.

I turned away, fearing my resolve might waver. Then, I lifted her, walking from bedroom to living room, then to the entrance. She held me softly, her arms around my neck. I held her close; it felt like our wedding day. But her frailty saddened me.

On the last day, I could barely take a step carrying her. Our son was at school.

Holding her tightly, I confessed, “I hadn’t realized our life lacked intimacy.”

I rushed up the stairs, fearing hesitation. I opened the door and told Marie-Ève, “I’m sorry, but I no longer wish to divorce.”

Her astonishment turned to concern. She touched my forehead, asking if I had a fever. I removed her hand. “Sorry, Marie-Ève, but I’m not divorcing.” Our marriage had grown dull not because love had died, but because we hadn’t nurtured it. I realized my duty was to support her till death.

Marie-Ève seemed to comprehend. She slapped me, slammed the door, and sobbed. I descended the stairs and left.

Later that afternoon, with a smile and flowers in hand, I raced home. Climbing the stairs, I found my wife in bed—lifeless.

She’d battled cancer for months, while my focus was on Marie-Ève.

Aware of her impending death, she aimed to protect me despite our son’s potential negative reaction to divorce. At least in our son’s eyes, I remained a loving husband.

True relationship value lies in the minutiae of life, not in possessions or money. Create an environment for joy but remember that real joy comes from intimacy.

Take time to be your spouse’s friend; nurture the small acts that build intimacy. Communicate, solve problems, and be happy.
