“The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.” Proverbs 23:24

• Fathers in always-intact marriage sare more involved in their children’s homework.
• Married men and women report the most enjoyable and the most frequent sexual relations.
• Married men have lower levels of stress.
