Who We Are

Life as a medical wife can sometimes be difficult. Many women struggle with resentment, exhaustion, loneliness and isolation. They've often been uprooted from their families and moved away from home, in order for their husband to build his career. For those who have children, they often feel like a single mom with almost all the childrearing responsibility falling on them.

That's where Side by Side steps in. We believe there is something unique about the support other medical wives can offer each other. We offer women a place where people understand what they are going through, where they find friends and surrogate family members, where they find help and companionship.

Side by Side is a national outreach ministry to medical wives, including all wives of medical and dental students, residents, fellows, as well as the wives of practicing physicians and dentists. It is non-denominational and evangelical in nature. Founded in Rochester, MN, it is now a branch of Christian Medical/Dental Association.

Marriage Moment: Discovering What Makes Him Tick



























The following was taken from the book, Capture His Heart, by Lysa TerKeurst:

"When we are dating one thing that makes us so exciting to each other is the new discoveries about each other that we spend time unearthing. " While listening to each other we hear childhood stories, college experiences, family life and hopes and dreams for the future. "All the newness is exhilarating and serves to stoke the flames of romance. Then you get married and have a couple of children and suddenly every conversation becomes Cliff notes versions. There's no time for in-depth reviews and new discoveries; there are diapers to change and bills to pay and things to acquire."



"So we slip into survival mode and stop discovering all together." There's so much to learn about each other. Therefore, Lysa put together a list of questions to help you get started.


What is your favorite color?


What does your ideal Christmas look like?


When do I look most attractive to you?


Is there anything that you've been wanting to share with me but haven't for fear of offending me? I'll give you the chance and promise not to get emotional about your answer.


What is the ideal gift to you?


If you could start all over again after high school, what are some of the things you would do differently.

If you could only give our children three pieces of advice, what would they be and why


If you had to write one sentence to be put on your tombstone, what would you like it to say?


If you could be an expert of one thing, what would that be and why?


What is your favorite game?


What makes you feel relaxed and comfortable enough to unwind?


What is your favorite Bible verse?


Define romance.


In your opinion, what is the most romantic thing we have ever done?


How can I be a better friend to you?


What is something you've always wanted to do but haven't because of financial limitations?

Enjoy!
