Stepfather Quote & Wisdom ~ Cedric Martin

My word or influence should carry as much weight as my wallet. ~ Cedric Martin


 

Great Men

Not gold, but only man can make

A people great and strong;

Men who, for truth and honor’s sake,

Stand fast and suffer long.

Brave men who work while others sleep,

Who dare while others fly —

They build a nation’s pillars deep

And lift them to the sky.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

A stepfather’s value to the family is more than just their financial contribution.  Besides money, a stepfather’s brings wisdom, compassion and a man’s perspective to the family.  To limit his contribution to just money sends a negative message to the stepfather and presents a dysfunctional model of a marriage to the children.  Depending upon the length of time a woman’s been a single parent it may be difficult for her to truly partner with her husband to function as a single unit.   Regardless of the difficulty this partnering must happen for the sake of the marriage and family.  Are you and your wife functioning as one unit?  Do you have a couple that models how to function as a successful single unit?  Can you start a mentoring relationship with that couple?
