After I married a man in his first year at medical school, I saw that he had taken a stand for what he believed in. I wanted to take my stand too, to be a Christian Scientist. That meant stopping smoking and drinking, which I did. Then I joined the Christian Science Church.

I love Mary Baker Eddy's words in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: "A genuine Christian Scientist loves Protestant and Catholic, D.D. and M.D.,—loves all who love God, good; and he loves his enemies. It will be found that, instead of opposing, such an individual subserves the interests of both medical faculty and Christianity, and they thrive together, learning that Mind-power is good will towards men" (p. 4). I tried to live by this.

In raising our three sons my husband would say to me if a physical problem arose, "You pray about the situation first, and if it isn't healed, I will take over." We respected each other's views. And when I turned to Christian Science for help for the children, they were healed effectively. My husband could see this, and was satisfied both as a father and physician.
