I was once told that in order to be a good father, you need to be a good husband. While I often struggle to put the latter into practice, I very much believe that there is a lot of truth to that statement. Jordan will learn what love is, first and foremost, from Steph and I. So, the way that I treat Steph will show Jordan how he should treat others, most notably- women.
Today, we celebrated my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. And while I have not always agreed with my parents (because there have been occasions where I have), I know that their love for each other has served as a strong model for me. I know that how they have handled their relationship with each other has served as a strong model for me. Their example of marriage is one of the major reasons that they were, and are, good parents.
I believe that if I can model much of what they have done as parents, then I can be a better husband to Steph, and in turn, a better father to Jordan.
Thought of the moment: thanks!
