My friend sent me a letter, and in it, she wrote:
My husband and I have been married for over 10 years, but in these 10 years, he has never taken responsibility as a husband.
When our child was two years old, he left home to work, and every month, he would only send back a little living expenses, never taking care of our family. For 10 years, he didn’t come home, all for the sake of buying a house for his brother.
When we got married, our economic conditions were not good. His brother was still in school, and his parents were already old, so many things fell on his shoulders. I thought it was his responsibility to take care of his parents.
However, I feel that he has been overly doting on his brother. After we got married, he wanted to work outside because of his brother.
He said, “When we got married, we didn’t even have a wedding house. Now my parents are old and don’t have much ability, so I want to work hard to buy a house for my brother. I don’t want him to suffer.”
Honestly, when I heard this, I was very angry. This family, apart from his parents and brother, also includes me and our child. Why can’t he put our child first?
Over the years, we’ve been frugal, putting all our money in one bank card. Now, he wants to give it all to his brother to buy a house. I’m fed up, and we even had a big fight because of this. Now, we’re still in conflict.
Because of the cold war, I took our child back to my parents’ house. It’s been many days, and he hasn’t taken the initiative to apologize. Now, I don’t know how to handle our relationship.
In reality, many people may encounter such problems. Every family has its own difficulties, and every family will have conflicts. If we don’t know how to solve them, our lives will only get worse.
Home is the Core of Happiness
If a family wants to be happy, a sense of responsibility is essential. For each person, family is the core of happiness. When you’re tired, your family can be your shelter. When you’re disappointed, your family can comfort your fatigue.
We all have our own unhappy aspects in life, so a family is especially important to us. When we understand the responsibility of taking care of our family, our lives will be more beautiful and happy.
Everyone hopes to encounter happiness, but true happiness requires a family to create it together. If we don’t understand family responsibility, our family life will only get worse.
When you can’t put family happiness first, your family life will eventually be filled with conflicts and disputes.
So, when facing family life, we must put family first. As the saying goes, “Family harmony is the foundation of all prosperity.”
Husband and Wife Must Learn to Communicate
Lin Huiyin once said, “True love is not just a temporary feeling.”
Couples will inevitably encounter various problems. When two people are together, they must learn to communicate correctly if they want to exchange happily. Only when they understand each other can their emotions become more harmonious.
Communication is an art, and couples need certain skills to communicate. When two people have different opinions on the same thing, they can’t blame each other. They must solve problems calmly and peacefully.
Couples who know how to communicate will have a happier married life. For a man, what he wants in married life is just a woman’s understanding and love.
Lin Huiyin once said, “You love me once, and I’ll cherish you for a lifetime.”
For a woman, what she wants in married life is just a man’s love and understanding. As long as two people stand in each other’s shoes and think about problems, many things can be solved easily.
In reality, every family has various problems, and conflicts are inevitable. The key is how we view and solve these family conflicts.
When facing problems in family life, two people should discuss and solve them together, rather than blaming each other. Only when two people work together can their problems be resolved.
