Unconditional love of a wife

Philippines
June 27, 2011 9:09pm CST
For me as a wife, loving my husband unconditionally is the best way I can give to him. Last night we're together for only 2 hrs. Seeing him for a short period of time makes me happy. I can't help but cry because I can see in his face that he is so tired. He's almost working 24 hours. His contract as an apprentice will end on september and soon he will be working internationally but with good compensation. He said he's doing all these and make all sacrifices for our family's future, for us to be financially free. It hurts to see my husband almost cry because of the nature of his work and for 10 months he's not seeing his daughter. All I can give to him is support, understanding and unconditional love.

That certainly makes a marriage hard to live thru. But you are doing what a wife can do is love him and support him. As soon as the intership is over he can celebrate the fruits of his labor and enjoy so much more time with his daughter and you or so I hope. If not than try your hardest to make an hour every nite a time between you and him and your daughter. Don't forget to give him some time for himself too. I truly believe every man needs that. I hope everything works out in both of your favors :)

It's really very hard for a wife and the family to be away from his husband for a long time. So, we treasure whatever short time that he may have for the family, whenever he comes home. Yes, it is your unconditional love that can sustain him while he is away, lonely and working hard just to give his family a nice future. Just always pray for him to be safe, healthy and away from temptations. It's one of the tools we have for him , while he is away.

thank you. You're right it's very hard to be away. And all I can do is to pray for him and to be strong and treasure every moment we we're together and make it special for us.

marnice you are the firstone to mention this as i have time and again told how my husband loved me unconditionally and told me so "I love you for you no matter how you look, big hips, pale brown hair, do not change yourself for me as I love you just as you are." that was so neat and I loved him the same way.We did not try to change each other,we accepted each other just like we were. so many people do not understand that. I know what you must be going through as here in Southern California the economy is in the toilet. people are out of work or stuck in poor paying jobs and not free to seek better jobs as for every job out there there are hundreds after it.so people stay put in poor paying jobs as they at least have a job.I am glad your husband will get paid better once his apprenticeship is up, thats heartening to hear. you are doing things the right way by your unconditional love and not burdening him like some thoughtless wives do by whining you should be making a lot more money whine whine. that stuff sure does not help a man or woman to hear from their mates.

You are doing a great job of being a loving and supporting wife. All your husband needs is to see you strong and very supportive for him to go on. BE an encouragement and a motivation to him all the time. He really needs all your support. A simple body massage, a slight kiss on the lips can make his day. HOpe someday you can all be together as one happy family without him being away for work for long months.

Having a husband like yours is a gift from heaven. He's a family-centered man and does not ease his tiredness because he wants the best future for his family. Well yeah as his wife you can give her your unconditional love, endless caress and your presence. It's a sweet thing for a husband to make his family his inspiration and motivation for living and working. God bless you and your family!

Your good wife to your husband. You understand your husband's job, which requires a lot of time, and make time together became less. You can understand this, and this is very good. With you always encouraging, and not too demanding, your husband will be working with a calm heart and carefree.

That's what we should do if we see our husband to be so tired. A good meal, nice massage and just simply cuddling with him at night is enough to take away the tiredness in him.

That truly is a tough situation. You are doing a great job in your support and encouragement that you give your husband. In a situation like that i don't know if I would be able to endure it without being overly depressed all the time. I really love my husband and am thankful that I get to see him on a regular basis. I can only imagine what your family must be going through to make it through this difficult time. I know when my husband discusses working more or getting another job it does make me apprehensive because I do enjoy my time with him and I want him to be around as his daughter grows.

It is a good thing that you do this for your husband. That you see that he is doing his very best to support the family. And you are working hard right along side of him. I'm sure that he is proud of how you are doing as well through all of this. That time you spend with him is precious. I hope that since this post things have greatly improved for the both of you.

Marriage is for "good times and bad". If you're currently going through bad times and keeping it together, you'll make it through (and appreciate all the more) the good times to come.
