How do I learn how to be a man, father, and husband, if I have no dad?

I asked my younger brother, as our Dad died when I was 5 and he was three. He said that our Uncle Joe, a male teacher, and his Boy Scout leader were good influences on him when he was a boy. He joined the Navy at the age of 18, and that helped him with his teenage problems. When he married his children and step children loved him a lot, and they live good lives.

as cheesy as this might be, be your own role

model. how do you think a man, father or a husband should act?

if looking up to an uncle, cousin, a friends dad, a teacher, famous person, etc. then do that.

I'm sorry you don't have a dad but I think you can still turn out to be an amazing man, husband and dad if you try. (:

You find a role model. Someone suggested Big Brother. Guys communicate by doing stuff together so that is a good program.

Think about the kind of father you wished you had had. Be that man.

Do you wish you had had a father who spent time with you hanging out or playing ball or fishing or watching movies or playing pool or riding bikes or whatever it is you like to do? If you do, then be that guy to your own child. Do those things with your own child. When you're out and about and you run across a man acting like an *** to his wife and/or his child, make a mental note ... and DON'T become that guy.

Do you want a wife who is honest with you? A wife who asks for what she wants (nicely) and doesn't make you guess? A wife who treats you with dignity and respect? A wife who does not run around on you or bad-mouth you to others? A wife who is a great mother to your child? Then be that husband - and treat her the same way - the way you want to be treated. It seems pretty simple to me. I know Life and Relationships are NOT simple, but they should be! ... at least a lot more than people make them out to be. Good Luck to you, my friend :)

Thats an easy answer.

Your future father in law obviously would have raised a great daughter. Otherwise you would not be marrying her.

Therefore the father in law is the answer to your question.

I have some advice for you that will last a lifetime. Don't ever raise your voice to your wife or son. Violence is for weak men. Don't ever put your hands on your girl or baby. Spanking is for idiots. Respect your wife, never talk bad about her to anyone. Nothing is more important than your family.

If you're 16 or younger, then call the big brother program.

It's all about knowing right from wrong and being strong enough to make the right choice you can do it

Find a mentor. Let him know what you are looking for big brothers & big sisters have that.

Read a bible and go to church so you know how to be the spiritual leader of your house hold and god is your father.
