Now, so much for definition and comparison, to be a perfect father and husband, one must obtain the above qualities of a real man. Before he enters into building family, He must be equipped with knowledge, skills, values, and wisdom.
Now my friends let me share to you my ultimate plan why I did all this jobs since puberty. I am striving to be a perfect man of myself -- intact with knowledge, skills, values and wisdom. I want my future family to be proud of me that I am well informed of anything. That I am more educated, well-experiences on things. These are my qualities:
Self-Improvement:
I have identified my weakness, my bad side, my limit as a normal person but I don’t stop. I am trying to improvise, adapt and overcome on problems. I am patient and introvert person. Because I know a perfect father and husband is willing to invest time, setting goals has positive outlook and understands emotions and a source of inspiration to my partner.
Communication:
I am striving to communicate well not literally to speak out but by balancing the situations during socialization. I listen before I speak. I teach and receives lessons. I promote mutual understanding. I think before I do. I put God first at all times. I don’t decide right away but when I do, I commit to it and stand by it.
Quality Time:
Honestly, this part is my weakness. I am a workaholic type. I mostly spend my time doing random things which improves myself in return, I left my family and home unattended. I fail sometimes towards my nephews, to my responsibilities at home. I fail to demonstrate values and strong emotional connection with them.
Support:
The reason why I don’t spend much is that I am afraid of having lots of lots of debt. As of now I have two debts – one is on my loan and the other is in the canteen. To be prepared for the future and free from outside obligations, I stand firm in the temptation of buying unnecessary things -- whether tools or for foods. I regularly give my nephews their stipend for school. And they can lean on me during difficult times.
Additional Responsibility:
Nowadays, it is essential for both parents to share responsibilities, including household chores, childcare, and financial management. But perfect father and husband understands the importance of this balance and actively participates in these tasks, demonstrating sole commitment for the family's well-being.
As per my skills though not really professional in the matter: I am a carpenter, plumber, mason, mechanic, electrician, computer literate and a repairman. I am currently a mathematics teacher, That’s my job. hehe! And my present calling is being a preacher of God.
Because a perfect father is a role model in his own house. He must possess various positive qualities. Remember, no one is perfect because we're just random person, but everyone has room for growth and improvement. However, striving to become these qualities can help create a strong, loving, and supportive family environment. With God-fearing and love towards neighbors.
A perfect father and husband has love and affection, patience, understanding, is supportive, is responsible, well educated, compassionate and humorous.
A perfect father and husband possesses a combination of various positive qualities that contribute to a strong, loving, and supportive family environment.
