I read an interesting article the other day about some recent research. The basic premise of the article was that in a study of nearly 4,000 couples in the UK, the frequency of divorce was directly related to how much (or how little) the husband helped his wife with tasks such as housework, watching the kids, etc. Seems like a no-brainer, but so few men really get this principle.
Read the article for yourself
Here's my conclusion...and this is based on Scripture, and not some article or research. Dads...if you're not helping around the house...get up off your lazy backside and do stuff. We don't have any excuses. Our call is to serve our families and our wives first and think of our own needs last. So, next time you change that diaper...or cook a meal...or take the kids outside to play to give your wife a break, remember that you're keeping your family healthy and strong
We should be men of the "Second Shift" because our work doesn't end when we get home. In fact, our most important job starts WHEN we get home.
