Daughter's Necessities

Do you believe that a girls's first true love is her daddy? Well, the very first man who hugged and kissed her is her dad. That's why she tends to love him back. It was the first time that she felt loved and gave love to someone.

As I was typing the words "daughter's necessities," articles involving fathers -not mothers- are shown in the screen. I chose an article entitled Daughters Need Fathers, Too emphasizes that a girl needs male role models in her life. And the most important male model is her father because she'll be able to distinguish more of her identity, even sexuality, from the powerful relationship she had at first with her father.


Marie Heartwell-Walker quoted, "if there is a father (or a male in her life who takes a father role), that man becomes her guidepost for what to expect of men and what to expect of men’s attitude toward women."

A daughter's relationship with her father will determine her future relationships with other people especially to their opposite sexes. If she grew up knowing his father's love, she will most likely to know who's man to be with and not to be with. Her father will be the model of the man whom she will choose to marry someday.

In addition, Marie Heartwell-Walker listed 10 basic principles on how fathers must show love for their daughters. One of these principles is,  "Treat her the way you want her future partner to treat her. The way you interact with your daughter is what she becomes used to when relating to a man. Treat her with respect, dignity, caring, and affection and she will expect to be treated that way by a mate. "

Being used to be loved by her father, she will surely want a husband who will treat her like how her father treated her. As her mind was open when she was just a little princess, her mindset will be that her future king will treat her as a queen. In this way, she'll be more aware of what kind of relationships she can have when she grow up.

Fathers should understand that they are somewhat of a map for their daughter's life. They will be the guidelines of their daughters for future plans and choices. Make sure that in a very early stage of their lives, they will already realize true love from their first true love, their father.
