A small story about a marriage

My mum has six brothers. They all live in Pakistan- as does the rest of her family. I went there recently after ten years and saw them all. For the first time in my life, I believe I’ve seen true and undeniable love.

I once read that the best thing a man can do for his children is to love their mother.

Does anyone know the provenance of this lovely quote?

A quick Google suggests it was a quote from Abraham Lincoln. I can't verify it, though.
