My husband is lovely and caring

Dear Obaa Yaa,

I HAD married for five years with two children and this gave me the false impression that things would sail smoothly into the future with my family.

Unfortunately, things turned up­side down after l was delivered of my second child. As a nursing mother, l tried to calm the raging tension with the hope that things were going to change by playing a role for peace to prevail in the house.

But l had the shock of my life when my husband asked me to pack my belongings and leave the house with the two children who he claimed were not his.

Despite the intervention of my parents, my husband did not change his decision and l became trauma­tised.

With my meagre salary, l had to cater for my children, their education as well as my aged parents.

One day, the items l bought from the market poured on the ground and a gentleman who was standing by quickly assisted me to pick them. He bought a stronger polythene bag for me to carry my things.

Since then we became good friends and there was not a single day that he would not ask of me. He later requested to visit my parents after which he proposed to marry me.

One day, he decided to visit my parents after which he proposed to marry me. Though l have two chil­dren for which l thought my marriage to him would not be possible, he assured me that l should not worry because my children were his as well.

Since our marriage, he loves me and my children as though he is their biological father and this has made me to love him more and l now for­gotten of my problems in my previous marriage.

I am surprised at the display of love from my new husband and l will continue to love him all the days of my life.

Cynthia, Tema.

Dear Cynthia,

Your case reminds me of the verse in the Bible which encourages us to be grateful to God no matter the cir­cumstance. Count yourself very bless­ed for coming across such a lovely husband who has transferred the love he has for you to your children.

Having received this measure of love from your present husband, educate your children to reciprocate their love and respect for him. This is the only means they can sustain his love for your family.
