Parents understand that your children are in transit; and very soon, just as you left their grandparents, they will leave you and join their spouses one-day.
This is why it’s so wrong and a curse statement to say, “ I’m in the marriage because of my children.” Don’t underestimate your marriage or partner because of your kids. Where were they when you started with your partner? It is your duty to raise your kids and give them a better future, but don’t forget that you are doing this not only for yourself but “mainly” for their future partners they will marry.
Never trade your husband’s or wife’s love for your children. And never feed your children ,leaving spouse hungry.
Don’t put your partner in the same position as your children because they aren’t the same. They shouldn’t drink from the same cup and eat from the same bowl.
Your children will leave, but it is your husband or wife who will always be with you through the storms of this life until death do you part. So don’t ignore your marital duties or destroy your marriage because of your children. If there is someone to value, cherish, respect, honor etc., then it is your partner because they started with you and will end with you.
And ask yourself, “How many children wish they would even live with their parents in the same house after they are married ?” Even some don’t want their parents to visit and spend a week or month with them. My dear, protect your marriage.
Let your marriage be important to you because that place your children are filling now , will soon be empty, and they will permanently join their spouses.. Is only your belove husband or wife who will always be with you through the storms of this life till death.
