In sickness and in health!

Matrimonial alliances , long term relationships, finding the ultimate soulmate can give anyone butterflies, make them feel on top of the world and make you feel you have met the one ! However with growing lifestyle issues and early detection of diseases can you ever accept someone completely?!
Pre-mature heart attacks , Type 2 diabetes or Hypertension on the rise. Women going through hysterectomy in their late 20s or 30s due Fibroid, painful periods... childhood disorders like epilepsy. There is a long list of these. 
You may be leading a completely normal life with any of these issues, however it can be a deal breaker in an arranged marriage deciding who your partner would be. God forbid if you are detected with any condition post your marriage it may create conflict or distance in your relationship.
What is accepting someone completely? If a woman is no longer physically fit post marriage that is okay, but if she's not in shape before marriage that's unacceptable. When someone develops health issues post marriage that's okay but if you have disorders prior it's not okay. I guess we compromise along the way...we don't truly accept. 
Acceptance is holistic - Physical, Emotional, Financial. We can't accept people in modules , it's the whole works. That truly is the vow to live by " In sickness and health"
