It is a challenge to any man when he knows that he is to become a father. I think that there is a special challenge to men who are True Believers in the Lord. The father to be needs to prepare himself for the role of fatherhood. This means reading and researching and not just relying on his own childhood experiences with his own father. For husbands who are True Believers the preparation need also to include Prayer and good understanding and communication with his wife.
