Father Standards Diminished

Father Standards Diminished 

Today in our modern progressive society we tend to see couples that are having children without being married. We see that the nuclear family is no longer alive today. Mothers are doing their own thing and fathers are sometimes not even there. Today, I want to talk about my beliefs about father's role in the family and how it affects the younger men.

Our Everyday life 

Fathers are not respected as they should be and they are not active in the life of their children now. I have strong beliefs that the father is the provider of the home along with his wife and the one who should oversee the overall security of his household with his wife's help. With all due respect, I also strongly believe that sex is was made by God to those who are married. ( I know, pretty unpopular belief nowadays right?). I have seen many couples who are not married, then they have children and then leave. They left their girlfriend and left their only child. This behavior is more common in now in these days where young men are not becoming responsible as their ancestors who had strong convictions about the father being present in the life of the child. When a young boy grows up without a father figure, he is more likely to grow up involved in gangs, go to juvenile hall, low self esteem, negative behavior, difficulty in bonding, and emotional distress (Guertin). I pray that an individual has not grown up without a father, and if you have do not make the same mistake and do this to your wife and to your children. I hope that if any young man reads this, they will have a great conviction to not abandon his child and wife and to be the father you were made to be. I know that this is a very unpopular belief and probably something that is not talked about during these days but it is a great discussion to have. The role of the Father is the most important role to a young man. Plain and simple. The Father teaches the young man values, teaches him to be respectful, to correct bad behavior, and most of all, to show that he loves his family and children. Please do not go have sex with a young lady, get her pregnant, and be absent in the life of the child. She needs you. He needs you.

Remember that you are liable for your behavior and will have to give an accounting before God of all the things you did. Make the right decisions today. Don't be selfish and think about your child's future.
