So, your question is, does being a good husband have an impact on fatherhood? From my experience how a husband and wife interact with one another, does make a very big impact on the child/children. I'm a 28 year old Psychology major who is married and has a 5 year old daughter. I understand first hand how two individuals interact with one another can affect not only the marriage but, the children especially. My husband and I have had some disagreements in front of our daughter and, we had seen how she began to act out. "Dr.Haltzman said Research proves that happy families are good for health, longevity, peace of mind, productivity, and success". So to answer your question, yes being a good husband does affect being a father. Children live what they see, so if they see either their mom or dad being disrespectful to one another not only will it affect their view on relationships, but how they treat others in life. I would say maybe you and your wife should try to talk more, or if you feel that you are going to argue try not to do it in front of the kids. This can be hard I know, but at least try. You got married for a reason, don't give up on it. Go with your instincts but communicate with your spouse and try to explain that even though mommy and daddy disagree it does not mean we do not love each other. I wish you the best of luck and hope all works out!!
