Marriage

First things first.  While this site is all about life as a daddy, I will paraphrase in daddy terms what my good friend Gary Ezzo says to moms in his Preparation for Parenting series, “You will only be as good of a daddy as you are a husband.”  We dads cannot forget how important our commitment to our marriage is. One of the greatest gifts you as a dad can give your children is to love your wife.  Parents need to teach their kids what healthy relationships look like and there is no better place to begin than by demonstrating an unconditional love for the mother of your children. Through this process you will gain respect and honor from your wife as well as your children.

There are many ways to demonstrate love towards your wife.  You can certainly tell your wife that you love her, but little kids in particular tend to understand better by seeing than by hearing. So don’t wait until the kids are in bed to demonstrate your love toward your wife. We have devoted the first post of this blog to marriage. You will receive an abundance of tips on growing and maintaining a healthy marriage as this blog matures.
