Do u love ur family ?

I know the moment u read this question, ur answer's gotta be "of course, i love my family". Well then, let me rephrase my question, what have you done to express that you love your family.
If your answer is taking them out for dinner every weekend, taking them on a tour to XYZ every year, buying an expensive gift for your loved one on your wedding anniversary, treating your family to the best lifestyle in the world, calling your loved ones a couple of times in a day ... perhaps this serious question would not appeal you since you are all inhabitants of past tense.
My question addresses those who look to ensure my love for my family caters them not only yesterday and today but also tomorrow !
Confused ... ?
Are you truely being a caring husband and a responsible father or are you just trying to convince yourself over the fact that i am as caring as i am today .... and today only ?
Still confused ?
Shoot across your confusion ...

I do appreciate the value of a sound financial planning offered by AIG, AXA, etc but indeed not easy to inject these values to the majority of the earthlings!

Anyways, all the best to your good intentions.

Hey JB, how many of us accept that this sitaution of sacrifice is a proof of our love for your family ?

Isn't our spouse deserving our presence to support him/her at all times of needs, to back them up emotionally, to give them a caring warm hug when they feel weak with pressure ... i personally don't believe that the telephone/mails/any means of communication whatsoever always helps.

on your professional role, you are responsible for i.e Financial planning.

Plus I add sarcasm to the unfortunate events which one could not insure and bring it back!

Truely it's a matter of concern, how much you love your family. From my point of view, I would say that you just live for your family. If you are able to support them in every manner, then you can say yes, I am done. You can't simply measure the amount of love towards your family by simply going out for a dinner or a pleasure trip. Different people got their own views about this, it can't be same.

That's the only reason I am here in Doha. This is a big sacrifice and i believe everybody here will agree. But i am happy though because it's worth it.

and it is difficult but not impossible to make it secured ONLY Financially and can prevent mishaps by recovery planning.

Well Victory, u really hav a fright for insurance agents, i must believe ;-)

About me (fyio), iv been in the financial industry for the last 6 years at different responsibilities which includes a financial planner, corporate insurance and investment advisor, corporate financial risk manager etc, my incline towards designing financial plans for my clients comes as a part of my profession.

But my intension of putting this thought across was just to have a touch feel of the responsibility psyche of the nationalities/expats living in Qatar as to how well they want to secure their families economically and socially, their beliefs in family wellbeing relative to material goodfeel Vs emotinal attachment Vs time spend together.

This knowhow would certainly polish my axe when I address my clients who seek personal financial planning from me.

Well, its symbiosis if i am allowed to say ... :)

being we are expats and no relatives or not many relatives around, we need to spent more time together and understand our needs, issues and solve it as a Team!

****Prasanth - a doubt are you an Insurance agent, asking us to Insure tomorrow/future as well for our family ;-)

There are no great things, only small things with great love.

- Mother Theresa

applies to this topic... love for your family is not measured by what money can bring, although its a factor... in the end, its what u do or will do for them eventhough u think u cant, they give you enough strength and will to do so, for them to be happy...

Life's a bitch and then you die! ;)
