I agree, the best way to love your children is to love their mother.  



Quiet heroes dot the landscape of our society. They don’t wear ribbons or kiss trophies.
They are parents, both by blood and deed, Their kids do … They call them Mom. They call them Dad. And these moms and dads, more valuable than all the executives and lawmakers.

Children spell love with four letters: T-I-M-E. Not just quality time, but hang time, downtime, anytime, all the time. Your children are not your hobby; they are your calling. Your spouse is not your trophy but your treasure.

Don’t pay the price David paid. Look ahead to his final hours. To see the ultimate cost of a neglected family, look at the way our hero dies.

David is hours from the grave. A chill has set in that blankets can’t remove. Servants decide he needs a person to warm him, someone to hold him tight as he takes his final breaths.
Do they turn to one of his wives? No. Do they call on one of his children? No. They seek “for a lovely young woman throughout all the territory of Israel … and she cared for the king, and served him; but the king did not know her” (1 Kings 1:3–4).

I suspect that David would have traded all his conquered crowns for the tender arms of a wife. But it was too late. He died in the care of a stranger, because he made strangers out of his family.

But it’s not too late for you.
Make your wife the object of your highest devotion.
Make your husband the recipient of your deepest passion.
Love the one who wears your ring.
And cherish the children who share your name.
Succeed at home first.

That's a very good piece, Barbaro. I'm touched.
And it hits all of us right here in the center.

We find this in the traditional Boholano family.
Hope the Boholano will hang on to this virtue
and not lose it as we modernize our lives.

I agree, Barbaro. I hope this Tubag Bohol is not taking my precious time away from the three boys/men in my life.
