Held Accountable-

It was my mother who nurtured me as a boy and showed me what I would see in a good 
wife, but it was my father that groomed me to be a good man and provider for my wife and 
family. Once my mother and fathers work was done, my God then lead me to my wife and it 
was his inspired word that held me accountable to my vows to her until he calls me home.
