the great life!

I've heard the saying, "The best gift parents can ever give to their children is to love each other."

I've had the pleasure of witnessing the truth of this statement for over 31 years. From as far back as I can remember my Mom and Dad were a team. A great partnership. They were more than just a partnership. It was as if they were one person.

Sure, they argued, but there was never any doubt in our minds that any disagreements would be worked through and resolved. Mom and Dad began their married life poor, but they worked hard and, over the years, they know their strengths and weaknesses, but the way they worked together, you never saw the weaknesses, just the strengths.

Dad was very strict and very industrious. Everyone knew Dad! Then, when they got to meet Mom, they felt the exact same way about her as well. Mom, what I can say the best mother in the whole world. Very loving and sacrificial mother. They both don’t have business. My father is a farmer and my mother is a plain housewife. We are eight sibling and im the seven from the eight siblings. I saw the hardship and struggle of my parents in order to send their children in school.

The biggest lesson about love and marriage that my mom and dad taught us kids was how to talk "about" your spouse. Have you ever heard husbands and wives, when speaking to others, make unkind remarks about their spouses? It's one of those things people just seem to do. Sure, they're "only kidding," or maybe they are not. But words matter. And words teach, whether positively or negatively.

Now, finally the eight sibling they had is already all professional. They are both happy what they have and done to their children.And very proud parents.
