Research reveals that by the age of 10, most children would have formed their world view, values and identity. This implies that most of “who” a child will become in the next 70 to 80 years is being decided within that brief time frame. This is similar to laying the foundation of a house, the size of a superstructure will be decided by the depth and strength of the foundation.
What message are you sending to your children?
A wise person once said that one of the best things you can do for your children as parents is to love each other as a couple. Today, many people have ruled out the idea of marriage; many are even cohabiting for fear of making commitment because they never saw their parents demonstrate romantic gestures to each other. Most of what they saw was conflict.
What message are you sending to your children?
Are you aware that your daughter is learning how to be treated as a young woman from the way you treat her and her mum? As a mother, are you aware that your son is learning how to be treated as a young man by watching how you relate with him and his dad? Parenting is influence, therefore, we must be deliberate if we are to raise responsible, purposeful and hardworking adults.
The impact of a romantic marriage is transgenerational.
ACTION POINT: Being romantic and loving your spouse is one of the ways to ensure that your children do not have dysfunctional lives, relationships and marriages. Be a great example!
