This may come as a terrible shock to you, but some people LIE TO THEIR SPOUSE about their health status.

In other cases, some people, PARTICULARLY MEN, don't actually go to see the doctor.

Going as a couple forestalls this kind of deception. All of the other replies you have received about mutual concern, getting the facts right, etc., also apply.
