Is it a good idea for two people to marry if they are madly in love but have terminal illnesses and less than two years each to live?

Answer 1

You can't put a time frame on when you are going to die. Don't do it! Many doctors give "time frames" and people prove them wrong all the time. It is great when two people love each other and no matter what the circumstances between them, go for it! Even if you have 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years or 5 years you have been so lucky to truly be passionately in love with each other, when so many other people never get this chance in their lifetime. People can be together for years and miss so much of life's joys and can't see beyond their own problems, while people in your position see life everywhere and embrace it. Live and love like you are going to live forever. Have fun! Make each other laugh and tell secret little stories to each other. Enjoy every part of life you are capable of. Surround yourself with your friends and family. Never listen to those that feel it's wrong, because you both deserve to be together. I am sure you are well aware that no two people will die on the same day or at the same time. One may go in a year or two while the other is left behind. Be prepared for that. Remember, if it's a great love there are no boundaries, and love reaches beyond life as we know it. It goes on forever! Yes! The first part is a wonderful reason to get married, and with the time frame there is less of a chance that it won't work out!

Regarding marriage, it sounds like someone is trying to talk you out of it and you're looking for some reassurance here. I say, "
