Craig,
I agree with TL, it is an excellent example!

The doctors are NOT saying that if the husband doesn’t do his bit that there is no way she can get better.

Not only was your example, excellent, but you have done an excellent job of pointing out that making an “if” statement does not say also state the opposite as a fact. It seems like Mark is trying to overstate the case.

That’s all I have time for right now. I will pop in again when I have more time until I am caught up again.

Just a note that God’s nature is that of goodness and what He allows through His fingers for His children has an ultimate goal of good. Not everything we suffer is of itself a good thing, but the end result will always be turned around for our good. We can trust God to do that.
