Not a very fancy title but it gets the point across. We spend this cast summing up the “main ideas” that encompass the thoughts behind Fathers.
There isn’t an endless list of general ideas of how to be a better father…which is good because now you know all concepts. The challenge comes in implementing them in a way that becomes a part of your lifestyle and adapting to the changing family.

How many different influences are reaching out to you and your family every day? Add up the bosses, friends, teachers, advertisements, social activities, etc. and you end up with a lot of “voices” (some good…some bad) that can weaken the cohesion of the family unit.
Distraction and detachment are two of your top enemies.
In this cast we talk about how developing a “Family Mission” with your wife will help strengthen the family and provide some structure to help in navigating the tension between the family priorities and the outside world.

While love languages can be very helpful in our marriage they can also be applied to the relationships we have with our kids. We finish this series by talking about how to use love languages with our kids

Knowing how love languages work is different than acting on that knowledge to revolutionize your marriage. While that seems like a given, most people aren’t able to go from knowing to doing and so their relationships don’t change for the better.
In this cast we talk about moving beyond the initial awkwardness (and possible failure) to having love languages impact our lives.

In this series we talk about the different ways people give and receive love and how that impacts relationships. This cast focuses specifically on the interactions between a wife and husband.

Family vacations, birthdays, dinners and holidays. Depending on your childhood those words could bring up happy memories or nothing at all because you’ve blocked them all out and replaced them with episodes of The Simpsons or Seinfeld.
As we talk about today…making traditions is an easy way to get the family engaged and create lasting memories.
