  • When you are young and in love, you'll easily promise to go to the end of the world for the love of your life. You promise to love and support her dreams. You promise that you will do anything to make and keep her happy. What happens when you are called to put your words into action? Are you willing and capable of going the whole hog?
    Hilary promised to support his wife and her dreams and ambitions. When his wife Brenda got a long coveted job outside the country, his commitment to support her was put to the test. How did he fare? Watch the video and find out.

    Hilary my wife also works away since 2014, we have 2 children who i parent. A boy and a girl. Its the most satisfying thing ever. The sacrifice pays off.
    I have slept in wards as well, i take my daughter to the salon and wait for her to be done her hair. I help with their homework everyday .

  • @btsfangirl3087
    @btsfangirl3087 5 лет назад +49

    Inspirational! Almost always it is women who give up their careers, to stay at home and raise their family, when a man recognises the potential of his wife and is ready to step up and give her a chance to explore, it is absolutely commendable. Life is changing and some situations will need the man to make unconventional choices.

    @SW-qw4kn 5 лет назад +74

    I love it when people chose to live life and define love in their own terms. Most often when a man has to leave the family and work far/abroad he is simply providing, but when a woman does the same people accuse her of "abandoning" her child. As long as all you do is for the wellbeing of your family, no one should have an issue with that. I am just glad that you made a commitment to support her dream and when the time came, you rose to the occasion. Such integrity is rare.

    This has warmed the cockles of my heart.
    Your storytelling skills are on point, and you're hilarious!
    If only all married people would constantly remind themselves that they are a team, and that each member of the team needs to do what's best for the team. Brenda pursues her dream and it is paying off for the family, you're doing a fantastic parenting job, your child has a good, caring parent and constant contact with his mum... I'd say it's a win win win situation. Kudos, on breaking the stifling molds that previously defined the roles of spouses.

    Fantastic yes you did the right thing and kudos to Brenda for trusting you to raise the baby without her. You're one strong man and you even deserve a man bra if they ever design them. You know the ones that have baby bottles with milk in them. I pray your family will have a chance to live in the same country soon because I am in the same long distance marriage and I understand how much you miss your partner. That baby is blessed to have such strong parents he will be an achiever like you both. You're a great role model to society. Yes love is sacrifice and the other person matters more than you. Great quote told with so much humor.

    Waaaaaaooooow Mr Hillary congratulations..
    This was a well articulated talk and you have clearly showed us the pains our wives or mothers go through when we the husband chooses to just send money.
    You have always proved to us that long distant marriage works .
    I bet your marriage is working because you fulfilled your promise of letting her achieve her dreams..
    Sometimes in love the most important individual is the other person and not you.
    Wonderful

    Such an encouraging piece. I salute you and your wife, Mr. Lisimba. Both of you went against the grain. It takes courage to do life together, and not have the fans 3rd wheeling in your marriage. Shut the noise out and do you. Amazed at what you do for your wife and son.

  • @thecargotsold
    @thecargotsold 5 лет назад +2

    It is all nice and stuff but how come no one talks about the proverbial elephant in the room... what of sex? How do you both handle it????? Short answer, you are not supposed to be apart for any reason for an extended period as a married couple. You should be together or wacha iyo pastures ikae.

    • @hillarylisimba6679
      @hillarylisimba6679 5 лет назад +1

      So many married couples in this country share rooms and beds every night but don't have that sex you are talking about.

    Wow! Kudos Hillary .. Its very rare to meet a man like you who is selfless enough to let their women chase after their dreams. Most men believe that a woman's job is to always be in the house doing house chores and take care of the kids... Sorry for all the insults you got from kilimani moms but I'm proud of you for not letting them get to you instead you stood tall and faced them. If most men were like you, this generation could've been so far.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾keep it up.

    Hillary ... quite inspiring. Very few married couples understand that the true, meaningful and fulfilling love in marriage revolves around what you give or give up for the welfare of your partner than what you get from him or her for your welfare, especially in our contemporary "I, Me and Myself" world. That is a cost very few are prepared to pay in marriage and family. Thanks!

    Fathers and husbands that give beyond what the society expects are amazing people. Involved dads specifically give rise to men and women who are self assured and confident.
    If all dads were this involved in their kids lives and husbands this supportive, half of our problems as a society would be gone.
