their marriage are just the "routine" ones or else are rare enough to be something they can get past in time. Some, however, get hit with one thing after another. I know one couple who didn't get through the first year of marriage before a complicated miscarriage, failed business, and resulting serious financial consequences occurred. This same couple went through a cancer scare for one of them, cancer with one of their mothers, a premature baby, loss of the husband's toddler-nephew, heart problems of the husband's father, health problems of the wife's mother, adopting a child, going through the the husband's father bi-lateral amputation of his legs, and then going through the very same thing happening to the wife's mother a couple of years later. Then the husband became "depressed" (although it may have really just been unrelenting grief). ]
