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: Welcoming Your Husband Home

The first three minutes when you greet your husband at the door, sets the tone for the rest of the evening. When you greet your husband with a smile, a hug, and a lingering kiss, you are starting the evening off in a positive way. It's a small opportunity to express love to him and to once again nourish your marriage. You are communicating to him that he is important to you. Both you and your husband may have had a rough day. So when possible, take care of yourself in the afternoon by putting your feet up for a few minutes so that you will have energy for him at night.
