God forbid, if a day ever comes when my husband can no longer “do”, I won’t stop loving him. It goes a little deeper than that, don’t you think?
It was your mother’s job to love you for who you ARE. Your wife will love you for what you can DO. Never try to make your wife do your mother’s job.

So he’s already ‘doing’ Proved my point.

She didn't prove anything. She just said that in a hypothetical situation, she would act a certain way. If that situation happens, then she can prove it.

She said that she would act the 'same' way--she would not stop loving him. The 'do' is love (in this case). What her husband does for her more than anything is love. It's not about material stuff, and it precisely proves Stefan's point.

I missed this lesson in life and wish I learned it a lot sooner. It ruined my relationships in my early 20s. I'm 28 now and still feel the impulse to be loved for who I am. But I know it will never happen.

Create a rich, full life for yourself regardless of relationship status. Pursue education, volunteer, expand your social circle doing things you enjoy and you'll meet like-minded individuals. Treat people well, have boundaries, be kind, take care of the basics. You'll be ok :)

In other words, you have to pay your wife to get the love you got from your mother!

If that is the case, one has a bad marriage. My wife loves me for who I am and I love her for who she is, not for "what she can do" ... if you only love your spouse for what he or she "can do", you have issues. Ephesians 5:25

Pop culture pushes "blue pill" men to expect that motherly love, then they turn bitter when they don't get it.

Love is patient, kind. It doesn't envy or boast, its not proud. doesn't dishonor others, its not self-seeking, its not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices w/ the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes, always perseveres. 1Cor 13

Disagree. Should my husband become a cripple or unable to DO what he is currently doing - I will stand by him. There are other options than betrayal in those cases.

Then the subconscious kicks in and wrecks that desire most of the time. The only time you’ll know for sure if you’ll still be there is when it happens.
-
Let us hope it never does! But that is why we discuss it and run scenarios together so to train that subconscious. Ideals only go so far.

The only thing I could see even having a chance at rewriting it would be to relive it a million times until you get it right. Some stuff we simply can’t rewrite.

Wouldn’t want to have a wife that doesn’t love me for who I am?

Very few of them around.
