When a couple gets married, they make a vow to stay with each other in loving support when life starts to get difficult. Generally, this is covered by the "for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health" part of the traditional vow, but life can find new ways to challenge us all the time.
Naturally, these vows are easier to make than they are to keep and some married couples do reach a point where they can't continue together any further. But when a marriage remains strong and loving through the toughest of times, it seems like there's nothing that can't be overcome.
And one man in Japan found a beautiful way to help his wife through a truly trying experience.
