Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter against them

Charity begins at home. Our houses must be filled with the fragrance of love. The home is the most sacred sanctuary in the world. The notion of charity beginning at home suggests that love and compassion should first be nurtured within the family unit. It implies that a loving home environment is the foundation for spreading love and kindness to others outside the family.

God begins with husbands as He began with Adam. They are to set the ball in motion. If they fail, the entire system goes wrong. Husbands are to love their wives, as they love their own bodies; and as they love themselves. This is absolute, selfless, joyful love. This love is not always easy and automatic. But he should never give place to bitterness, rather keep on loving her.

Love begets love. A loving husband and a loving wife are a beautiful gift from God. Their love for each other should cover a multitude of defects and shortcomings. Teach younger women to love their husbands and the children. Yes, love must be taught. It is tough! But when love grows cold, division is on the way. It may not be apparent but internal bleeding is more dangerous! A house divided against itself will not stand.

When parents live in love with each other, the children get an atmosphere of love for healthy growth. Someone said, “The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother!”

The importance of love and harmony within a marital relationship and its impact on the family as a whole is insisted. The idea expressed is that husbands have a responsibility to love their wives unconditionally, treating them with the same care and consideration they have for themselves. Bitterness or resentment should be avoided, and instead, husbands should strive to maintain a selfless and joyful love for their wives.

Finally, the statement regarding the significance of a father's love for the children's mother underscores the impact that a loving relationship between parents can have on the overall development and happiness of the children. It suggests that children thrive in an environment where love and respect are displayed between their parents.

Litmus Test

Image
When an aeroplane is flying the pilots will ask questions among themselves which is called Litmus Test.   When a problem comes while flying they must ask if the plane is still flying.   If the answer is yes then it means big danger is not there.   So they don’t have to show so much of interest on that problem. When Apollo 12 was going to the moon, it was struck by the lightning.   Red orange lights started burning.   So the astronauts wanted to do something immediately.   They asked among themselves if it was travelling in the right path.   The answer came in the affirmative for their questions.   After sometime the lights went off one by one and the rocket was moving in the right path. It's true that in various high-pressure situations, whether it's flying an airplane or conducting a space mission like Apollo 12, the concept of the "Litmus Test" or asking critical questions can be crucial. These questions help the pilots or astronauts assess the severity of the p

Children don’t need chocolates

Image
  Few years ago one day evening while walking in Chennai streets, we (my wife & myself) came across a children’s home (orphanage). We thought of going inside. How can we meet strange children with empty hand? So we bought half a kilo of éclairs chocolates from a nearby shop and went inside. While walking in, we heard a gentle voice, “where are you going”? Looking around we saw a lady through a window. We went near and told her that we would like to meet those little children inside. What is in your hands? She asked. Chocolates. The lady told us, we have plenty of food here. Every now and then we receive calls from leading bakeries and chocolate companies to supply us. Normally we say no to such call. Thanks for coming here with a good intention, but our children don’t need chocolates. We were puzzled and blinking. Then came her words, they need your love, physical touch, smile and laughter, your presence. She requested us to spend at least one hour with them. With doubts and not

Pain a Valuable Mechanism

Image
  A girl who acted in the serial, Grey’s Anatomy called herself as a super hero because she never experienced pain in her body.  Though she proclaimed proudly that there was no pain in her body, she was carrying a rare disease called congenital insensitivity to pain.  Those who have that disease will not experience pain.   For a man to live a healthy life he must have the sense of pain.   Otherwise some problem in his body will be unattended for a long time because of lack of pain and which may develop into a serious problem.   In our spiritual life also even if we do a small mistake our heart must be troubled and we must lose the peace of mind.   Then only we will repent and reconcile both with men and God. It is true that the ability to experience pain is crucial for maintaining a healthy life. Pain serves as a protective mechanism that alerts us to potential damage or injury to our bodies. Without the ability to feel pain, individuals with congenital insensitivity to pain may no
