Jobless Man But Wife Loves Him To Death.

C&p
Having a job plays a big role in our lives and more so if you're a man. Society simply demands that you provide for your family and those close to you. A man with no income is shunned and looked down upon and sometimes this starts at the very home where you're supposed to get support.
But some women take it differently when their men are not working or lose jobs for whatever reasons.
The article re-published below is from yesterday's relationship column as published by Nation Newspaper.
I am aged 27 and have been married for the last three years. We have a five-month-old baby.
I am not writing to you to whine about matrimony, but to tell you and everyone who cares to read this how beautiful my marriage is.
When we got married, my husband worked at Cooperative Bank as a member of the support staff.
Unfortunately, his job did not last long and he was retrenched. Since then, he has been jobless, but he is the most loving and caring man I have ever known, and if I were given another chance to marry him or tell him off, I’d still marry him.
I will not lie to you that things have been rosy for us, because they are not.
I earn less than Sh10,000 a month, and from that I have to pay our rent, feed us and clothe the baby, but I will do it for as long as I can and to the best of my abilities.
I love my husband and I know he loves me too.

my dear lady...pray that your husband gets a job before the young child is enrolled for a baby class...and the talk will be:
I am aged 30 and have been married for the last five years. We have a five-year-old child.
I am writing to you to whine about matrimony, and to tell you and everyone who cares to read this how shaky my marriage is.
When we got married, my husband worked at Cooperative Bank as a member of the support staff.
Unfortunately, his job did not last long and he was retrenched. For sometime my husband was the the most loving and caring man I had ever known, and if I were given another chance to marry him then or tell him off, I’d still marry him, but nowadays he is not the man i knew.
I will not lie to you...things have not been rosy for us, because of late due to the fact that he has tried getting a job and non is forthcoming, his ego has been completely eroded, he is now withdrawn and his tempers are rising by the day at no reason at all. it seems frustrations are weighing down on him
I earn less than Sh10,000 a month, and from that I have to pay our rent, feed us, clothe the child, pay the school fees, buy school uniform, pay bus fares etc and i am left with so much debts to pay at every begining of the month...
I still love my husband, but his failure to provide for the family has overstretched my meagre income and this is straining our relationship and i feel that our our marriage is headed to nowhere...please advise me.. ...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

in an ideal situation the 5 ball game would hold...
in kenyan society of the 21st century, those five balls only remain in air just as long as the work ball remains in the air...when it goes down it pulls the rest of the balls with it.... ...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

Why is it so hard to appreciate or believe good news? Are you guys suggesting that the situation described is completely impossible? Come on! Have some faith in some good news! May God continue to bless their marriage! ....above all, to stand.

From experience it is still too early to make a judgement on your marriage before five to seven years have elapsed. That is when the real matrimonial stresses begin. I stand to be corrected.
