Keep goin' to church dads!

Does going to church make you a better dad?

Check out this factoid:
Christianity makes men better fathers, according to a study by Bradford Wilcox, a sociology professor at the University of Virginia. Wilcox examined three national studies and found that men who attended church regularly had stronger marriages and were more involved in the lives of their children. Seventy percent of church-attending men reported being “very happy” in their marriages, while only 59 percent of men who did not attend church reported being happy in their marriages. Christian fathers also spent more one-on-one time with their children and were 65 percent more likely to hug and praise their children. [onenewsnow.com, 6/30/08]
