The psychodynamics of caring for and loving a person with a serious biochemical disorder also has to be acknowledged.Some AA type groups go as far as saying that they shouldn't interdate in groups or see people while they are recovering, although I personally think it is a bit drastic, but then again I guess its part of being agnostic anyhow.
But it is important to remember that no matter how much you love someone, it will be exhausting if you have to be their caretaker as well. Every couple of course depends on each other, I wouldn't deny that.
I think though that MFC counseling between the two of you and a third party therapist is as necessary as medication and/or therapy for your to be wife, just as important as solitary therapy for either of you and your respective doctors.
