Living with a spouse who has a mental illness is not an easy task. It can be especially

Psalms 127:3
Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:3-6

example they wish to be imitated. They should manifest one to the other a tender
respect in word, and look, and action. They should make it manifest that the Holy
Spirit is controlling them, by representing to their children the character of Jesus
Christ. The powers of imitation are strong; and in childhood and youth, when this faculty is most active, a perfect pattern should be set before the young. Children should have confidence in their parents, and thus take in the lessons they would inculcate.”
