For example, parents who have chosen to be monogamous provide role models that teach their children good values: such as trustworthiness, honesty and kindness. They teach them how to control their impulses, to work hard, and to believe in their own abilities.
But you can’t simply tell your children what to do, because they watch you and instantly spot whether what you say is different from what you do. And especially what their father does.
It seems that fathering and mothering are two different parenting styles and kids need both. And a good father shows his children what being a man is all about.
A committed monogamous marriage is a really good idea, especially for the success of your children.
And yet, all around the world, monogamy’s quite uncommon. For example, in a survey of 1,231 societies around the world, less than 200 were monogamous. And even they cheat a lot!
