The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. Proverbs 31:11 

Happy Father’s Day everyone! There is an old saying that “behind every successful man is a strong woman”. Indeed this is a true statement. A man has many responsibilities to provide for his family and be the head of the home. God created man and woman to be together, to produce off-spring of their union.

 One of the greatest needs of a man is to know he can trust his wife, the mother of his children, to be supportive of him, and be a part of the parenting of their children. Without this trust, a man’s foundation is on shaky ground and the marriage will most likely fall apart (Matthew 12:25). Sadly today, there are many homes with single parents, raising children without the partner, and the damage it causes the children continues to be passed down from generation to generation.

 A good father needs a good mother by his side. Together, with the bond of God’s love and spirit, the two will be great and serve the purpose God intended for man and woman to “be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; Genesis 1:27-28. Fathers, you need your spouse to be a good parent, and mothers, you need your husband to fill that role of a father to help raise your children.

 A good father needs a good woman in his life. Thankfully, I am blessed myself with a wonderful wife and mother. My prayer is you too will have the blessings of a good wife, a good mother to your children, so your foundation will be strong and lack nothing in this life. God bless!
