CHILDREN DO NOT always learn in the schoolroom how to treat one another with dignity and affection...
You can't diagram respect, forgiveness, or servanthood. It isn't found in any encyclopedia that I know of. It is observed and then put into motion.
The way in which an effective father relates to the children's mother is of incalculable significance. The children watch and are strangely warmed when they see husband and wife embrace and kiss one another. Something tells them that this is a sign of security: all is well in our home. Furthermore, they begin to formulate within their own hearts an understanding of how men treat their wives and how a wife will respond. (Gordon MacDonald)
