Now, when I speak of commitment I am not referring to some form of passive past commitment that was based on hormones and emotions. Rather, I am referring to the daily exercise of 1 Corinthians 13 love. This kind of relationship requires personal effort and investing time. The final strand in the three fold cord is a commitment to your children. Notice what the father is charged with in the context of child rearing.
Fathers are to be active in the rearing of their children.
One of the things that your wife needs the most, if there are children still at home, is your consistent involvement in the instruction and discipline of those children. The Book of Proverbs is filled with a father's instruction to his children. When we were done I helped him replace a water pump on his car. You have saved me literally hundreds of dollars. Men and women, our nation and our churches desperately need strong families.
