Could You Do What This Woman Did? 🤔✈️❤️
Let me share a story that happened to a couple in my street.
When they had their child, the baby was just about one year old when an opportunity came for them to travel abroad. Their plan was for the whole family to travel together.
Unfortunately, things didn't work out that way.
The wife was the only one who was able to travel.
So she had to make a very difficult decision—she travelled abroad while her husband stayed back in Nigeria with their young son.
Imagine leaving your one-year-old child behind and trusting your husband to care for the child while you go abroad to work, establish yourself and build a future for your family. ❤️
It wasn't just for a few months.
It took about four years before she was finally able to bring her husband and son to join her abroad.
Now, this story got me thinking…
Before we go ahead ,take a second to look at the colored crochet pant above ,will you rock this with your spouse?
Okay!
WOMEN, LET ME ASK YOU: 👩🏽
If you were in her shoes, could you do the same thing?
Could you leave your one-year-old child and your husband in Nigeria and travel abroad alone because you believe that going ahead will eventually create a better future for your family?
Would you be able to cope with the distance, missing birthdays, milestones and everyday moments with your child?
Or would you say, "No, we must all go together, even if it means waiting longer"?
MEN, THIS QUESTION IS FOR YOU TOO: 👨🏽
If your wife gets an opportunity to travel abroad for work, but the only way it can happen is for her to go first while you remain in Nigeria with your child, would you support her?
Would you be able to say:
"Go. I'll take care of our child. Go and build something for us." ❤️
Or would you feel uncomfortable with your wife being away for years while you raise the child here?
And here's the big question:
If you knew that after 3–4 years she could bring you and your child to join her abroad, would that make the sacrifice easier?
There are so many things to consider—love, marriage, motherhood, fatherhood, finances, career, education, opportunities and the future of the child.
So let's make this a proper conversation.
👩🏽 Women: Could you leave your husband and child in Nigeria for years to pursue an opportunity abroad?
👨🏽 Men: Would you allow your wife to go ahead while you stay back and take care of your child?
And most importantly…
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE THIS COUPLE?
Let's hear from both sides. 👇🏽❤️
