I couldn't disagree with you more about that. People enter into marriage as equals, but the idea of "for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health" means in part that one spouse advocates for the other when the relationship is no longer one of equals. That's what Michael Schiavo is doing explicitly. I understand that people think Michael abandoned Terri is some sense. I don't have the authority to judge that. But he didn't divorce her or abandon her, he tried for years to help her, and when all else failed, he tried to do what he said Terri would have wanted him to do. It would have been much easier for this man to leave any any point in the last 12 years, especially with the relationship he has with Terri's family.
