A friend of mine told me once that my husband loved me more than he loved me when I was still with him. It was an idle conversation, so I assumed it was just a casual comment. After being married almost five years, I can confirm that the friend’s words were accurate. I am married to the most amazing person you could imagine. I consider myself the most spoilt wife in the world.
He tells me all the time that all he has to do is make my happy. He puts me first and will never make a decision without consulting me. My mother-in law once suggested to me that we buy a certain item for the home. I told her that I would first speak to my husband. My husband approached me later while I was out shopping and suggested that we buy that item. He informed her that he had to first talk to me about it. She chuckled and said that this was what I had told her previously when she questioned me.
My husband can do any household chore. Except for when he is sick, he gets up before me and heats the water to take a bath. He also washes the plates if necessary. When he comes home from work, he will be grateful that I did the laundry, cleaned up the house, or any other chores.
I don’t currently have a job. He would then tell me that I’m not jobless because I care for the kids and that enough work is enough to compensate for my frustrations about not being able get a job or the need to support myself financially. He will tell me that I can choose to work or not and that he will support it.
Even though I do not make any financial contributions to the house, he always asks me for permission before making financial commitments to him, his family, and to his brothers. Because he is trustworthy, he has never given me reason to doubt him. He is not a threat to me, so I don’t have any fear of him changing negatively. I have never heard him yell at me. Beat me is unlikely.
Although he has many things going on, he will take care of the children as soon as he returns from work. He will take care of them until they go to sleep. He is kind to all people around him, not only to me but to the children as well. When I meet him, his coworkers in his office compliment him. He is a blessing from God and I am grateful for him. I pray for God to bless and keep him. Salutations to all fathers, men.
