Setting example for children

I am a mother of 12. Now that I am in my mid-60s, I can tell how the unity between husband and wife is very important. My husband and I are not a perfect couple; we have had our share of quarrels and disagreements. But instead of selfishly destroying the family, we opted to stay and build our relationship back for the good of our marriage and our children. Now that some of my children are starting their own families, I am happy that we have set a good example of what marriage is all about.

Let us not destroy the sanctity of marriage. The family, the basic unit of society, is the treasure of every country. Let’s uphold it dearly. Rather than destroy it, let’s build it!
