How to Love a Woman
August 12th, 201109:39 PM ETFathers are instrumental in modeling to their sons how a man is supposed to love a woman. This is not something that comes naturally to most males. Merely watch the difference in how a young man who grew up with no healthy male role models treats his wife (or more often live-in lover) versus one who grew up with a father that loved his mother.

10 Tips for Better Dads
June 17th, 201108:18 PM ETNiels Bohr said, "An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field."

Grandpa's Big Heart for Missions
June 17th, 200910:06 AM ETBy Ann DunaganIn honor of Father's Day, I want to share a tribute to my father-in-law: WWII veteran, hard-working dairy farmer (with gnarly hands to prove it), father of nine, caring husband, loving grandfather and great-grandfather of many, fisherman, missions director for his small country church, and most definitely a man of God. Nearly everyone called him Gr... -
The Footsteps We Leave: Fathers & Sons
January 15th, 200905:45 PM ETFathering is at the heart of masculinity. I don't mean just fathering a child--any adult male can do that.
