Dear Girl Dad,
She’s watching you. Every move, every word, every glance. You are her first love story. The first man she’ll ever trust. The first hands she’ll feel safe in—or not.
Do you understand what that means?
It means when you raise your voice in anger, she learns that love shouts.
When you go silent and withdraw, she learns that love disappears.
When you break promises, she learns that love lies.
When you choose your phone over her, she learns that love is distracted.
But when you hold her close, she learns that love is safe.
When you keep your word, she learns that love is trustworthy.
When you discipline with patience, she learns that strength and love go hand in hand.
When you treat her mother with honor, she learns that love is respect.
You are the blueprint.
One day, some man will try to love her. And she will accept what feels familiar. Will that be love or will that be pain?
You’re not just a dad. You’re a standard. The divine masculine in flesh. God trusted you with her heart, with her future, with her ability to receive love without fear.
So be the man you want her to marry.
Be the man who teaches her that love is strong, kind, unwavering.
Be the man who shows up, even when it’s hard.
Because one day, another man will look her in the eyes…
And she will decide if he gets to stay.
And that decision?
That started with you.
