"In this picture taken 2 years ago, I was at the height of dealing with an illness, just wheeled out of a 4-hour cardiothoracic operation, physically weak, emotionally drained, and unsure of what the next day would hold. But my husband showed up.
"Every single day. He carried the weight I couldn’t. He sacrificed time, comfort, and sleep just to care for me. He prayed when I had no strength left. He led with patience, not pressure. He led with love, not pride. He led with calm, not chaos. The world often teaches us that leadership in a relationship is about control or dominance, but the Bible paints a different picture."

She further mentioned that he continually loves her unconditionally and makes sacrifices for them, for which she is forever grateful. Dr Thomas also thanked God for blessing her with such a partner who didn't just say the words: "in sickness and health," but actually lived them.
