"A GOOD FATHER" Part 1

1. LOVE YOUR WIFE

Your children watch how you treat their mother. They watch .....and they are learning and forming their concept of marriage from YOU. You are creating a pattern for marriage with your children.
If they see you show disrespect for your wife … your son will most likely carry that into his marriage.
If you verbally or mentally or physically abuse your wife … your daughter will most likely expect that in her marriage.
If you treat your kids mom like she isn’t worth very much … you are degrading the home, the family, and marriage … which they will most likely carry into their future homes, families and marriages.

BUT … If they visibly see you show love and respect to their mother … your son will learn how to be a good husband and father himself.
If you honor your wife … your daughter will never be satisfied with a man who dishonors her.
If you cherish their mother as a valuable part of not only your life, but their life … they will carry that model with them for the rest of their lives.

Ephesians 5:28 ....... “So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;”

BE A GOOD FATHER … Love your wife!

It’s not easy being a good father … BUT … it’s NOT IMPOSSIBLE either. It takes hard work, hard praying, and making hard decisions. You can’t do it alone.... God doesn’t expect you to....God doesn’t want you to.....Don’t leave Him out of your fatherhood.
