GRATITUDE SERIES: Gratitude #6

He Hasn't Abandoned Me! And so he shouldn't...but how many friends do you know whose husbands have?!  Of course I don't think or suspect my husband ever would but neither did I think theirs would have either. It is shocking how many mates abandon their families and spouses;  and not necessarily physically leaving, but emotionally leaving; men who abandon their wive's emotional needs, men whose addictions drive them to emotionally  leaving  their wives and families. If you are a female spouse whose man has lovingly stayed by your side.... be grateful.  I know some women who read this might be thinking, "Why should I thank him for doing what he and I committed to?" Let me clarify. I don't mean you should be grateful in a, "I don't deserve you to be so loving to me...you could have walked out like so many husbands."  Not at all. But I do believe we should live in an ever-grateful space. If your husband is continuing to be loyal and standing by your side, physically and emotionally....thank God that he is standing by his vows and his love for you.
