Will a more accomplished man make a better father and husband? Or will a good father and husband make a better man?
Discuss.
No no, H and I aren’t having a fight. This is just a topic my friends and I have been discussing.
What do you think?
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

April 27, 2005 at 12:26 pm (19 years ago)a good father and husband makes a better man. being a good husband and father is an accomplishment na by itself. and, it’s the kind of accomplishment that really matters.:)
my two-cents worth.

But I think from all the experiences I’m been through, I’d make a better husband and father now then if I was married young and never experiences the things that I’ve been through. As I think I’m a better person now than before.

To whom did he turn? Who accompanied him to the grave he visited?
Those to whom I will direct Ryan’s questions are those who will be able to answer the questions you raised, Ms. Platon. At least for my case.
