Two dads are better than none
TWO DADS ARE BETTER THAN NONE
Life would always have its way to prove that two is better than one. And partners would always almost remain partners. A spoon would always come with a fork, as a pencil would always have an eraser. A tooth paste would only be used with a tooth brush and a shoe has to be worn with a sock. Such things are typically seen as one. Though missing the other would be fine, difficulties would still follow. Complete is synonymous to perfect. And a complete family consists mainly of a father, a mother and their children.
Two dads are better than none - a saying that goes against the natural law of marriage when you read between the lines. What happens when a family lacks a mother, and is rather replaced by two dads with their motherly big heart? It may not look complete. It may even seem peculiar. Or worse, unethical. But nothing would be more immoral than hurting someone physically and emotionally.
A lot of children nowadays came from a broken family. As a consequence, they suffer depression and attitude problems towards the people around them. They often feel alone and incomplete. There are also a number of children left in an orphanage for their parents are not responsible and mature enough to keep them. Indeed it is difficult to live alone or to live with people one is not related with. And if two men are willing to live together and create a wholesome and loving family for a deserted child, why would I disagree?
I personally believe that love knows no boundaries and that it knows no gender. Though I am a Christian, and the bible is strictly against same sex marriage, I find it acceptable but at the same time regrettable for they would never have their own child. And thus no family of their own. But as I watch the pride march and heard their voices, I came to an understanding that they are happy with those consequences.
Having a family with two dads may not be perfect. But the love that will be built inside a house, more likely a

    Beating the Statistics

    Statistics show eighty-five percent of youth in prison, seventy-one percent of high school dropouts, ninety percent of homeless and runaway children have an absent father. Fatherless children and youth exhibit higher levels of: depression and suicide, delinquency and teen pregnancy, behavioral problems, illicit and licit substance abuse, diminished self-concepts, and are more likely to be victims of exploitation and abuse (Kruk 49). I believe both parents should be equally responsible in raising a child, physically and emotionally. Both parents should help each other raising a child to set an example of how a family should look like instead of putting everything on just one of them. If both parents work as a team in up-bringing a child it enriches the child's life, giving him or her much more stimulus along with enhancing self-confidence and influences their personality. Ultimately both parents influence the future life of a child and how he or she will perceive the world, along with their levels of happiness, morality and productiveness, and their academic successfulness.…

    In the reading Good Dads - Bad Dads. Two Faces of Fatherhood. Furstenberg Jr. focuses on the two different types of fathers that can appear in a child's life. The first type of father he focuses is on is the modern father/good dad. The modern father attains nurturing, emotionally attuned and caring qualities. The author made a point that the modern father was recently discovered, and that fathers haven’t been that involved in their child’s lives until the early 21st century. Before the modern dad arose, a father was only the provider and nothing more. The second type of father that Furstenberg Jr describes is the bad dad. The bad dad is the type of father that denies paternity to his child. He choses to ignore is parental obligations and live…

    Over the course of many years’ fathers are becoming more absent in their children's lives, for example “One out of every three children in America lives in a home without their biological father present” (Promoting Responsible Fatherhood,2012, pg2). This very alarming because research has shown that father present in a child life has more positive effects such as helping…

    My personal views on this issue changed a few years ago when watching the TV broadcast and something came up about the right for gays to marry. Previously I was personally indifferent but felt that marriage was as much a religious institution as a civil institution. After all, most marriages are performed by clergy and the majority are in religious settings. I felt that civil union met the needs of gays so why offend the religions? Then I saw an older woman interviewed and she had explained that she and her partner had been waiting 30 or 40 year for this day. They have lived together as a family and wanted to be married. That's about as successful as a married couple can be, still wanting to be married after all that time! And I thought, all Americans are entitled to their own pursuit of happiness. Gays who buy into a system of family values should have the same family rights as others. I also used to get grossed out when I hear same sex marriage, but then I look at Ellen DeGeneres, for example, she is the sweetest the person that could be. Opinions about same sex marriage crossed out so many times and places as well as thru out the years. Many say that time is changing and over the years people slowly will accept the gay marriage.…

    Marriage and Individuals

    “No matter what language people speak-from Arabic to Yiddish, from Chinook to Chinese-marriage is what we use to describe a specific relationship of love and dedication to another person” (Wolfson 90). In the essay “What Is Marriage” by Evan Wolfson, he argues that marriage is a very important custom to our society from both social and spiritual aspects of life. Wolfson believes that as long as two people are in love whether if it is same-sex or opposite sex, couples have the right to be married. The government should permit and support same-sex couples to be married and become financially and socially stable. Likewise, Author Andrew Sullivan of “My Big Fat Straight Wedding” writes about his perspectives that everyone should acknowledge and treat the gay and lesbian people with respect as a human being.…

    How do you feel about raising children in a single parent home or in a home where both parents are present? It is very shocking to know that most people do not think about these situations before starting a family. In today’s population there are more single parent families than two parent families. When raising children it takes finances, time and affection, and a good role model to help care for them. Parenting is very difficult whether both parents are present or not, but being a single parent have many obstacles.…

    For many years, children growing up in a single parent family have been considered ‘different’. Being raised by only one parent seems to be wrong and impossible to do, but over the decades it has become more normal as such. Today in the 21st century many children have grown up to become stable and successful whether they had one or two parents to tell them what is right and wrong. The issue lies in the progression of children being raised by single parents versus children being raised by both a mother and a father.…

    In the past, children were raised mostly by their birth parents. In the rare cases they were not, they had either to survive on the streets or live in orphanages. However, nowadays children can be raised by in single parent ,or other parenting figures. All this is due to the procedure of adoption, which has become worldwide. On the other hand, a great man once said "Adoption is the fact of giving a couple who cannot have kids, the opportunity to promise themselves to be great parents to a child in need" due to family problems or parents addicted on either drug, alcohol, or even abusing the child or if their parents had died and there's no one that can take care of the child. I agree that adopting a child from abroad is a long process, and on the other hand that adoption may be by choice and not by necessity.…

    The ideal family has always consisted of having two parents which consist of a male and a female. Nevertheless, having parents of the opposite sex does not mean a child with homosexual-parents cannot get the same adequate amount of love. A child with homosexual-parents has two parents who work and take care of them also. Both heterosexual-parents and homosexual-parents can and do show the same amount of love by spending time with the child,…

    “It takes a village to raise a child.” A quote I always think about when it comes to single and double parent households. Sometimes it takes one strong parent and others it takes two strong parents. Whether it’s the birth parent(s), family member(s), or even a surrogate parent(s) to raise a child. Single and double parent households have a lot in common and differences. Many would agree that living in a double parent household would be better then living in a single parent household. I guess it all depends on the situation and what you make out of it.…
