It is common for parents, with or without the added complication of MS to think about their ability to provide their infant a safe and secure environment, as children don’t only bring joys, but also responsibilities. This is why a husband and wife that are already coping with MS must have a future plan, especially since it is impossible to predict the course of the disease.

Thus, couples should decide what they are going to do if the primary breadwinner will become too disabled to work, and also how children will be cared for during this time. Talking about these issues can help couples make the best decision for their and their children’s future.
