DADS

The greatest thing a Dad can do for his children, is to Love their Mother.

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
Ephesians 5:28

If you want your child to accept your values when he reaches his teen years, then you must be worthy of his respect during his younger days.

....a model for you, that you might follow our example.
2 Thessalonians 3:9

A child is not likely to find a Father in God, unless he finds something of God in his father.

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:1

A Dad's words are like a thermostat that sets the temperature in the house.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue:
and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs 18:21

While I don't minimize the vital role played by a Mother, I believe a successful family begins with her husband.

He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity.
1 Timothy 3:4
