MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MARRIAGE

Uncle Jack grinned when he saw his daughter, Annabelle and the husband Kenneth walked into the house. The old man paid one of his rare visit to his in-laws, he had to succumb after several pleas from his in-law to come spend the Easter holiday in Lagos Nigeria.His in-law thinks he needed to comfort him from the man's loneliness after his wife's demise some months ago.
After dinner that evening, he whispered to his son in-law that if they dont mind he would love to have a quick word with the couple after the children had gone to bed.By 9pm, the couple was back to the dinner table to hear what the old man had to say, he started by asking them a simple question ''WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN YOUR LIFE ANNABELLE?? she replied daddy its he kids ooo, they mean everything to me.''he then asked his son in-law the same question and his reply was the kids too, they are the reason why i work so hard to ensure they have a better life he also replied.
The man replied well said but i don't mean to intrude on how you run your family, but i believe there is a fundamental error you would need to correct, he said i have observed how much you both love your kids and dedicate all your time for them.Forgive me if i have eavesdropped a couple of times, doesn't all your conversation bother on the kids?, the couple stared sheepishly in admission to the assertion.
He continued my son in-law he said,'' the most important person in your life should be your wife and vice-versa it cannot be the kids they are just product of the marriage, if you learn to take care of each other very well, your kids will grow up healthy and strong but if you ignore each other brace yourself up for dysfunctional kids in the future.The two of you are the foundation of this family, if you suffer any form of crack the whole house will go down so please make time for yourself and treat each other as VIPs and the kids will be just fine.
I am sure many married couples can identify with this story, where the focus shifts 100% to the kids and barely have time for each other, they later are amazed they loose the magic connection between them.if care is not taken, those connections need gets outsourced thereby opening up your marriage to all sorts of strange elements.Let your kids feel and know your spouse mean the world to you and if you are to choose between them and your spouse it will always be your spouse.
Give the kids love and attention they deserve but not at the expense of each other.You are the real deal, the kids are just the bonus!!!
Do have a great week ahead, happy valentine;s day in advance...
