A guide from dating to retirement that will help you build a loving lifelong marriage.The most important responsibilities and roles a man can ever have is that of a husband and a father. I have been married to the love of my life for twenty-one glorious years and I am the proud father of two very intelligent, strong, beautiful daughters. I decided to write this book for one reason alone, I wanted to do everything I could to help my daughters find the same happiness and pure joy that their Mother and I share.As I watch my daughters grow up, currently 15 and 18, to become young women I become increasingly more concerned with what their future holds for them. Have I been there when they needed me the most? Will they come to me when times get tough? Have I been the kind of father and husband that they will eventually strive to find as they go out into the world on their own? Even though I am now in my 40's I can remember myself during those impressionable young adult years. I was like every other teenager, I knew it all, and the last thing I wanted to hear was advice from some over the hill, outdated, out of touch, old person who didn't understand the world of today. This may sound familiar to those reading this who have gone through the teenage years with their own children. Don't get me wrong, my daughters are very mature and very respectful of me and their mother. Despite this, I am also a realistic person and I know that if they are truly listening to half of what I say than I am doing pretty good. This is clear by the eye rolls and looks of discontent every time I start to "lecture" them on the ways of the force. For this reason, I thought it would be a good idea to write down all my ramblings so that perhaps later in life, when they didn't just look at my talks as a "lecture", they could take what advice would help them when they needed it the most.
