This article was posted on The Gospel Coalition Blog a few days ago. It's called "I'm Not Afraid to Raise Daughters," but I thought it was a good resource for all parents.
One line was particularly noteworthy in light of the upcoming Valentine's Day: "They (the author's daughters) are not afraid of your sons... they will know if your sons are worthy of their attention because their father's example has hard-wired them to recognize character."
But the author's strongest point is summed up with this statement: "My greatest concern cannot be that they (the author's daughters) reach marriage unsullied and unharmed - it must be that they grow to love God above all else." Fathers and mothers, be reminded not to parent out of fear, but out of faith.
It takes only a couple of minutes to read the article. Enjoy and be encouraged!
