A proverb tells of a mighty oak, so tall and strong, that breaks in the stormy wind while the fragile-looking reeds bend to the ground but do not snap. Strong families are like the reeds-they bend, they change, they adapt, and when the storm is over, they're still intact.

Men who engage in active parenting develop and mature differently from men who do not.
(Ppalkovitz, 2002)
well it just states differently....I would have to look at his research. I would imagine that they would develop and mature in a faster, greater fashion.
For the argumentation that the active fathers realize, learn, and grow from the new responsibilities and the new life. In addition, the active fathers would engage with the father experience, which leads to natural maturation, development and growth.

OH Lord, give me strength and lead me through this rocky unknow path!

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING.

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
— C.S. Lewis

I accept other people for who they are and what they believe, because I don't think you should ask someone to change what they are passionate about. Dear World: If you can't accept, at least learn to tolerate. And if you can't tolerate, keep your respective mouth shut." Love, Megan

Being surrounded by GREAT PEOPLE/GREAT FRIENDS changes you......makes you a BETTER person....a person you are PROUD to be!!!!!!!

"In moments of discouragement, defeat, or even despair, there are always certain things to cling to. Little things usually: remembered laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind—in fact, any reminder of something deeply felt or dearly loved. No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles.... When they are lighted, darkness goes away—and a touch of wonder remains."

"This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mol...d. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision."
