In the world today, some people have spouse that are alcoholic but the problem they face is how to cope with their alcoholic spouse. Will any of you who have an alcoholic spouse ask for a divorce? Why? Yes will be the answers of most people and their reason will be that he or she is irritating. In church, before getting married, you swear for better or for worse so why escape from your responsibilities? It is not right for anyone to escape from his or her marriage responsibilities. There was ones a woman who got married to a man who was an alcoholic but she did not know. In church, she swore that she will never leave this man no matter the condition. This woman did not know what was awaiting her but all she wanted was to be married and have children of her own. This man loved this woman so much that he could do anything not to harm her but he could not stay without drinking. This man's drinking continued up to the point where he was always caught and locked up by the police but his wife will always go to his rescue, what a pity. At times, when the man comes late, he will beat up the wife but still she will not call the police rather she will weep, go to the kitchen and get something for the man to feed on. Despite all this man did, the wife instead showed him much love even more than when they just go married.

When this woman saw that there was nothing to do to stop her husband from drinking, rather than allowing the husband to go outside and get drunk and be locked up, she rather bought alcoholic drinks and kept in the house so that after the husband returns from work, he would come home to eat and drink. This man accepted the idea of the wife because of the love the wife showed him even in her tears. What this woman did was that each time the man finished eating, she will give him a bottle of beer that she has put some sleeping tablets in it. She does this because she wants to reduce the rate at which her husband consumed alcohol.What a wonderful woman. At times she will even put it inside the man's food so that after eating, he would fall asleep. She did it for a long period of time until one day this man decided to stop alcohol for each day he goes to work feeling weak, he will rush home for a rest and this gave him no chance to take alcohol and finally he had to quit his drinking habit.
I will advice any person that has a spouse who is alcoholic to show enough love to that spouse so that he or she will never feel depressed for this might even increase the spouse's alcoholic habit. Be a helper to your spouse and not a burden and all will go well and even what you think is impossible will be possible.Thanks.
