"Your wife has been petted by her parents and by her husband until she is of but very little use. You have both seen others burdened with care and have not lifted the burdens with them. Your wife has lain as a helpless weight upon families, greatly to her own injury and to theirs, when, in point of health, she was better able to do than some who were bearing her burdens and yours. Yet she did not think of this. Neither of you could see the facts in the case and feel for others. Some from whom you have received help in care for yourselves and your child were not able, financially, to do what they did; but they thought they were ministering to self-sacrificing servants of Christ; therefore they denied themselves and endured inconvenience and trouble, to bear burdens that you were better able to bear for yourselves than they were to bear them for you. 2T 546.1"
"Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
The EGW passage describes a situation where individuals are not bearing one another's burdens, which is the central theme of Galatians 6:2. The passage illustrates a specific instance of failing to follow this principle.
