Partnership

Isn't marriage a partnership? I believe so. I grew up seeing it with my parents and to some people that are close to me. That is why it makes me mad whenever husbands do not do share their part on this so called "partnership". I normally do not talk about other people's lives in my blog, but this one is just too good to pass. I have been itching to talk about this anyway because I am very upset with the situation. My aunt had over a dozen of kids, and what did the husband do? Nothing! She takes care of the farm and the family while he sits in the house and do nothing all day.

Over the years, we have helped them out. I had numerous cousins who stayed in the house and went to school with us just to take the burden off my aunt's load. The husband is worthless. All he ever wanted was to have many children. He drinks and smokes and it is my aunt supplying his needs. I don't fully blame the worthless guy because it is also the fault of my aunt. She submits to all his needs. I don't know what would I do if I were in that situation, and I thank God everyday that I am not.

Sometimes I thought Ryan is annoying asking me about school and etc. but I know that he loves me so much and he wants to take care of all my needs. I never have to worry about school because he takes care of it. It is refreshing to get an email from school stating that I have already paid for my tuition fee. My books arrived in the house in time for the start of the school year because he has already checked the books I need and got it online. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to have a husband who has always been loving and generous to me and my family even if I admit that there are times when I neglect him. He knows if there is something bothering me or if I just need to talk about things. It is so funny how I can read him like an open book and he does to me.

So, if you have a husband like mine, please do not forget to tell him "thank you" for all the things that he did to you and for the family. We are so blessed that we do not have to deal with irresponsible husbands like other wives do. I hope that one day my uncle will realize how his help and not just his presence would mean a lot to his family.
