I love this article and it’s right on point. I married 12 years ago at age 21, husband was 22. We started dating when I was 16. For years I suffered with his emotional neglect. The more I loved him and catered to him, the more he took my love to energize himself just to give it somewhere else. He neglected me and our children for anything; church, work, his parents, friends. Ultimately he met another woman and that was the final straw for me. I put him out of my house. It was hard but I thank God for giving me a way out the marriage. He was never going to change. He is still trying to win me back but I won’t have it. When a woman gets fed up it’s way too late.

A spouse responsibility is not just being a money-maker in the family. Having a family requires a lot of patience, communicating with each members of the family is vital.
So true that the father is the foundation of the house and the mother is the light to brighten up the nesting place.

Love, understanding, prayers will serve as the hallmark
of young individuals who will soon come out from this so-called “home” to gear themselves from the battle of
of this unruly world.

I am entering a very serious relationship this year that might lead to marriage. I have mixed emotions, happy and yet sometimes having the feeling of “fear of the unknown.” This post gave me some peace of mind. Thank you for this post.

rich, well, we live in a complex society with different set of social values and priorities. Today’s women under the influence of feminist ideology behave radically different from just 50 years ago. Women’s understanding of their role in the society has considerably changed. Some women constantly face the challenge of how to be a woman in today’s world. Feminist ideology doesn’t help women appreciate themselves for who they are. It’s a very complex problem.

Lot of women today put their friends and their work ahead of their family because they are competing for climbing the corporate ladder. Family should come first.

Women should realize that jobs come and go (look at Nortel, GM) and neglecting husband and children and putting their career ahead of everything is not good for anyone, including the women.

Someone needs to tell women also that “Duty is not a burden. Duty is a form of love”. Unfortunately today we see most of the women are completely neglectful of their duties as wife. Most women today see that doing things for their husbands, giving love to children is a burden and it interferes with their individuality. That is quite sad thinking.

I would add one more to this list. Kids/Family…When kids enter the equation…many guys go from being a husband to being a Dad and leave the spouse second at best. I believe that a family is made up of a husband and wife and that kids are a welcome addition to that family. When we as husbands lead and take care of our wives, we bring security to the rest of our family.
