When couples lose themselves in caregiving roles

My wife and I are both dealing with health scares and we've become so focused on taking care of each other's bodies that we've stopped seeing each other as whole people. We're loving caretakers but we're terrible at being lovers and companions, and I miss the woman I married even though she's right here.

What we've seen

Care has become a beautiful prison, and you're learning that loving someone's body isn't the same as loving their soul.
