What is the big deal?

Waking up in the middle of the night, you’ll only have to do it maybe 5-6 months of your child’s life? How many kids is one going to have that this is such a big deal? Tired you may be, then what is waking up to watch a champions league match called?

Is it such a big sacrifice to help out and be supportive of your wife when she is pregnant or nursing? That is a wife’s basic entitlement and a husband’s role– remember through thick and thin? What is the use of a husband if he thinks that this is bonus if he has to play the role of a loving husband and father? Is it so difficult to put aside your hobby, leisure activities etc to be there when your wife needed you the most? She might as well raise a family without you if you still demand for your own time…..

Do you know what true love is?

When you really love someone;
There will be no sacrifice;
There will be no compromise;
That person will be the one;

You commit your life to;
And time to;

There is no such thing as giving up interests;
You put aside self interests;
There is no such thing as own space;
In the heart a shared space;

You do not leave your loved one;
To face hardship alone;

That, I believe is what true love is;
Not just occasional gesture of love;
And not just a façade you show to friends and family.
