Today, we are aware that not all of us share the same idea about good and evil. It is because of various factors to consider; like different surroundings, groups, religions, cultures, habits, etc. But we know that though we have this great knowledge, we still have the common knowledge that certain aspect of responsibility and duty must be practiced accordingly.

Here is a common opinion that to preserve the dignity of a family as a home, the members must perform their duties and obey with their obligations within it. Here are some thoughts that the head of the family or the FATHER must stand for the maintenance of the so-called home, because if the father will not do his duty for sure the rest of the members will be demoralized and will be in danger. A real and true father is not a PHILANDERING HUSBAND to his wife, because if he is, their relationship will be in trouble.

A real father to his kids must be a good example for he is the most influential one to his family members. We are not saying that a father must be perfect but he should be in full responsibility and control of his actions so that the rest will follow his examples and be in the right track. The family is above personal and financial gains. It is not also a reason for a father to claim that he is BUSY FOR FINANCIAL FACTORS and leave his family behind because not everything is associated with money. What counts is that the father should be in the family and help his wife, rearing their children.

Think of the bad example that a father gives to his children, all of his sons follow his way of life and make wives miserable. This was discussed in the book entitle: WHY SHATTERED MARRIAGE? One very revealing fact has been brought to light by recent studies of representative groups all over the world, that Men have vices. Some smoke, drink but some men love to have MORE THAN ONE WOMAN IN THEIR LIFES. Chances are if the father is a philanderer, the SON may follow in his footsteps”. And “Marriage is no guarantee that a man, the husband or the father will commit himself to his wife and their kids for life. It takes hard work to keep marriage.”

With this that father must be a father in actions, in deeds and in moral entities not a father only in NAME.
