Dads, When it comes to fatherhood, do you feel at times like you don't know what you're doing?  At times, does the chaos and frustration of it all feel like you're left to solve a very difficult puzzle without directions? Dr. Don is here to tell you, "Every dad CAN win". He's been there. His wife, the "Relationship Ninja", Suzanne wants you to know that you are handpicked by God for  this.  For fatherhood.  For your children. You can do this.   Early on in his family life, Don felt like parenting was more like solving a Rubix cube with no instructions. Over the years of raising a family of 7 kids and gaining insights from other experts, they've discovered family comes down to 2 words:  a- relationships  and  b- culture  Don says, if you build your family right on the inside, then you can tackle anything that happens on the outside. They invite you to constantly ask the question: How can I connect to my child today? Words, time, & creating experiences and memories are all examples of how to connect. I specifically love when Suzanne says as parents, our goal is to take our kids from being parent-controlled to self-controlled. She also shares how wives can encourage their husbands in the midst.    Seriously, gents, you can win at fatherhood. Even if you didn't have a role model. And even if--like the Rangers (TX MLB not NY NHL :)--maybe your track record hasn't been great... it is possible to still win!  Seriously though... You can be a good father. It really is not too late. Don is opening an opportunity for you in the new year for fathers to learn how to do just that for free. Just email him [email protected] to find out more.  Their many resources, podcasts, and courses can be found at crazycoolfamily.com  I hope this message will encourage you to keep fighting to win!   Love,  Belah PS - We'd love to help you with your marriage.

"this inability caused me to be concerned about our future and caused me to feel like I was alone... There were so many needs and desires that would go unmet, that I struggled to be holy and joyful. After men's program... "Too many [celebrations] to recount here! In summary, she has made the most intimate bids for connection with me over the last weeks than I can remember! These have been both sexual and non-sexual. My biggest celebration could be that I feel loved and desired by my wife again, and that is so fun and empowering for life on a mission!"
