I want to find a husband that will be involved in my children lives. I want my
husband to be there for our children when they come into this world. I will
help my husband be involved in the birth so he can bond with our children from
the beginning. I hope my husband will want to help when our children are ill. It
meant a lot to me when my father stayed with me in the hospital, and I hope
that if given a similar situation that my husband would do the same for his
children. I will let my husband have one on one time with each of our children.
I will encourage my children to be excited when he returns home from work or a business
trip. I want my children to know that
they can always go to their father. I will allow and want my children to talk
and to listen to their father’s advice. I will want my husband to take time out
of his busy life to find activities that he can share with them.
I am dating and considering someone to share my life with, I can pay attention
to see if he is comfortable with children. Something that I can do to find out
how he will react to children is to spend time with him around young children.
I have a lot of younger cousins and it would be fun to babysit them with my
future spouse. Before we are married I would ask and discuss with him his
anticipated involvement with our children. I hope that by doing some of these
things before we are married we will better understand each other’s feelings
about children and the relationship we want to have with them.
