The statement reinforces my view that regardless of environment, the best thing a father can do to show his love for his children is to love their mother.

By showing love to their mother, the children feel secure in their family. His actions toward his wife model a proper relationship between a man and a woman and promote a feeling of security for the entire family. Teaches his children how to treat their spouses.

Each night when he returned from his work, the first thing my father did was hug and kiss my mother. My brothers and I also ran to meet him and experienced the warmth and security of a loving family. Never was the word "divorce" mentioned in our family, except when describing relationships of others. I could not even imagine the pain of divorce when growing up. Could not understand why anyone would get a divorce. Everyone suffers.

By showing their mother total love and devotion, the father builds a strong relationship with her that becomes an unbreakable bond; he owes her that because he chose her. He made a vow. She feels that loves and responds. Deliberately working at his relationship with his wife causes their love to bloom and stay in bloom. Their love is felt by their children and causes the children to be at peace and feel secure.

My opinion: Love is a choice; not a feeling. We do not always feel in love; at those times we remember our commitment and vows and continue to be a good spouse, even though we don't always feel like it. There is such a thing as commitment and responsibility; no more important than in a marriage. The feeling usually comes back even stronger. Sometimes relationships are hard work; anything good requires effort.

Of course...just my opinion...ok where is Victor! )))
