Family values - Gulf Today - Short Take Dt 28 March 2015

Family values

The trend these days is to have a dedicated day to remember someone or something special. So we have a day for water, earth, father, mother etc.

Looking at each one of them and the current upbringing style of children makes me really worried.

Are we becoming fully dependent on these dedications to remember our duty and commitment to all these beneficiaries?

Let us take the example of water. In the early days, it was passed on to children from a young age that water is precious and to be preserved in all possible ways. Likewise the affection of mother. It is perennial. Whatever be our actions towards them, their love and care will continue to follow till the end.

Then comes the important lady in the life of a married man: Wife. The culture and tradition is different among many, but the duty remains the same globally. After marriage, there is always a sense of togetherness in everything one does. If not there, it should be that way.

In many cases these days both husband and wife are working. Activities are in plenty for those who want to socialise around. However, share the duties together, give as much time for each other as possible. Show affection and continue to promote and pamper each other with a sustained interest.

It is a special feeling. The affection and care after your mother, only your wife can give. She is the best person who can judge your best and worst days in advance. Only she will have the patience to adjust the environment according to your mood syndromes.

I am thankful to God for giving me a loving wife. No special day is required to promote her as every day is special. I am sure it is vice versa. That has been the case with my parents too. It is a special feeling when I see that they are nearing the golden jubilee of their married life.


Let love, affection and family values prosper worldwide without the need for any special days or dedications.
