According to the news story " The Importance of a fathers in the family ", there is a real importance of having a father figure within the family unit. Salem reported that a fathers affection and increased involvement in thongs such as family activities, or being involved with the family in general, can add to the promotion of children's social and emotional development. Marriage and family therapist recognize this importance. This importance is one of the main goals of a marriage and family therapy session, which is keeping the family together and building relationships between members of families. For example, if a couple with children seperates, a marriage and family therapist would help those children develope relationships with each parent even though their parents have differences. This would enable both parents to be involved in their child's lives, benefiting the children for having both family figures. Marriage and family therapy is important to the family unit because it enables the family to stay together, communicate, and understand each other. This benefits the children and possibly the family as a whole.

Your post was really interesting to read. I agree with you, children do need that father figure in their life to help them grown and develop as people. Counseling sounds like it could help a lot of families struggling with this issue. It's cool that you have an interest in this and helping others too.
