The role of being a Father is a tall calling that all men have to step into. It is easy to fall into the motions and to be unintentional as a Father. Here is a checklist of 7 keys to being a great father and husband. Keeping these in mind will help your family prosper.

The way a Father interacts with their child is different than a Mother. Both are good, but the way of the Father can be hard because it often involves discipline. We need to renew the way we parent to have a heart of love amidst hard punishments and conversations with our children.

Many of us are born into the mess called generational sin: The reality of a family or fatherly wound that often leads into sin for many generations. There are choices we can take to sever our relationship with these sins in our families.

Too many fathers have adopted the same approach with their families, “planting the garden” but ignoring the ongoing and focused work so desperately needed in their home. Stewarding the growth of children is a father's obligation.

The television and all technology can diminish the abundant life that Jesus calls us to live. Why not take radical measures to free ourselves from enslavement to a box in our living room?

A father’s work is cultivated in the home, doing the difficult things like creating order, discipline, and structure. A father’s work demands that we engage in family life, not just be casual observers.

If we neglect the little things, we neglect everything. The big things (marriage, careers, friendships, children) are made of the little things (an unnoticed good deed, a phone call with a friend, sharing a compliment just because).

We cannot be severed from the body of the Church without falling into the danger of hell, and we cannot neglect our mission to love and convert the world lest we fall into impotence and lukewarmness.
