The bible stated in 1Timothy 5:8 that a man that refuses to provide for the needs of his family is worse than an infidel. So, can we really blame a man for leaving home so early in the morning in pursuit of wealth? Can we blame a man for spending days away from his family in pursuit of wealth? I guess we can’t. A responsible man must provide financially for his family.
But wait a minute, what happens if the man looses the same family while preoccupied with the act of providing! Will that make any sense? There is a trend that I have been observing for some time now and I have caught myself joining the bandwagon on several occasions – the Absentee Daddies Club. Are you a member? It is quite unfortunate that so many married men are sacrificing the future of their family in their bid to provide for the physical needs of the same family.
