On This Dad’s Day, Let’s Polish Up Fatherhood
Many years ago, my bride-to-be cajoled me into some dance lessons. During those few sessions, as our instructor guided us through some ballroom basics, he repeated several times, “Just remember, the woman is the picture, the man is the frame.” This same description might apply to traditional two-parent families, in which Mom is usually the…
