About This Quote
A man's primary duty in life is to earn his own living, but to what purpose if he did not have a wife and children? This quote rings true for the married man. A man has a duty to provide for his family, but that is not all. He has a duty to be there for his family when they need him, both emotionally and financially. He also has a duty to be the person who loves his family. Ideally, he wants to be the kind of husband or father who does not just love his family but respects them and treats them with care and respect.
