Thank you so much for posting this article. Society and the media has us dads as being completely worthless to families beyond the check we bring home. We know that this isn’t true. In fact, as a Christian, a father’s role is supposed to much more important in the raising and rearing of the kids. A father is supposed to provide “spiritual” covering for the kids and the whole family. If the father’s out of position with Jesus, the family is wide open for spiritual attacks. Also, there are countless studies that show staggering statistics concerning how a lack of a father in the home usually leads to some form of hardships in the lives of their kids (especially girls) and social degradation in general. Unfortunately, there are far too many men who are helping this terrible image to be sent out by their actual behavior. Men need to know how vitally important a role they play in the lives of their kids and in society as a whole and they have to act accordingly. Mothers need to understand that fathers can and should provide emotional support for their children and not just a check and the media needs to get itself together and promote some positive images of dads. Will this happen? I don’t know. I pray that it will. Fortunately, I have a wife who understands the importance of “Daddy” in the family.
