There are a number of myths about marriage and disability. We often think of marriage as being for the able people. However, this is not the case. Marriage is for the two people who love each other and want to be together. Having a disability does not mean that a person cannot be in a relationship; it means that there are some reasonable accommodations that need to be made.
One common misconception is that a person with a disability should not marry because it will make their disability worse. This is not the case. Another misconception is that people with disabilities are asexual therefore there is no point in them getting married and starting families. People with disabilities can have happy and fulfilling marriages and bare children.
There are a number of things that can be done to make a marriage work for a person with a disability. One of the most important things is to communicate. Just because a person has a disability does not mean that they do not want to be in a relationship. They may need a little more time to adjust, but they are still capable of being in a relationship. They are loveable and are able to give love in return.
To have a fulfilling romantic relationship with a person who has a disability, make sure that you are open and honest with your partner about how you feel about their disability. In the same vain a partner with a disability must be open and honest to their partner about their disability. This will help to build trust in a relationship.
Another thing that you can do is to make adaptations to your home. This includes things like installing a ramp or a wheelchair accessible bathroom. You do not have to change everything, but making accommodations will help to make your relationship and or marriage easier. Disability does not mean that you cannot have a loving and fulfilling relationship. It just means that you may need to make some special adaptations. It also requires love and respect for inherent human dignity.
