Gene Simmons on Fathering

Today, as I am sitting here enjoying my coffee watching Kathy Lee and Hoda on the Today show I found truth from the lips of Kiss lead singer Gene Simmons.  He said, “It’s the Father’s fault when families fall apart.  Men need to step up and be the men that their fathers were not.”  He said many other little things on the same line as well.  He spoke on how if the father taught his little boy how to be a man and how to rightly treat a woman, we’d have better men and fathers in the future.  He also said (which I can say a loud amen to this) that if a father can teach his little girl that not all men are bad and that they deserve to be treated rightly, we’d have a lot of better women and moms in the future.  He said of his daughter, “Sophie won’t be someone’s girlfriend, she’ll have a boyfriend.  The moment girls stop defining themselves by a man, the moment they realize they are worth more.”  Way to go Gene!

Isn’t it funny in women’s magazine’s how they write articles like, “how to make your man happy” or “10 things to keep him around.”  Men’s magazines don’t write like that.  Why?  Because women’s natural bent toward being in a relationship.  We’ve preverted our natural drive into somehow we can’t function without someone in our lives.  i.e. if we keep our man, we’ll be happy!  Ladies, how about finding what makes you happy, finding what makes you tick, what it is that God has made you for?  And then should you be blessed with joining your life with someone, you’ll be a whole person and able to give wholely to him.  I think Gene has something going here!
