In fact, one of my favorite pictures is a picture of our first-born daughter and me dancing. It really wasn\u2019t a formal date, as we went out; but we just kind of broke into a dance. She was ready for bed, and the music came on. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Where were\u2014you\u2019re dancing in her\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> We were at home.

She has that picture \/ I have that picture.

I just shared the first memory, though\u2014the first memory I had\u2014kind of where the love affair began with our daughters. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Your dates with your daughters often included chocolate and high calories; right? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Chocolate ice cream, chocolate pudding, chocolate cake. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Lots of rules broken while you and\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> We would laugh about what Mommy would be thinking if she could see us now. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You would say: \u201cDon\u2019t tell Mommy.

In fact, the names of the two books are: <em>88 Great Daddy-Daughter Dates<\/em>, by Rob and Joanna Teigen, who join us on the broadcast\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWelcome. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rob:<\/strong> Thank you very much. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joanna:<\/strong> Thank you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014and the other one is <em>Daddy Dates<\/em> by Greg Wright. I love the subtitle on this one: <em>Four Daughters, One Clueless Dad, and His Quest to Win Their Hearts<\/em>. That really is the story of the daddy-daughter dating idea. It\u2019s all about trying to win your daughter\u2019s heart. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes, that\u2019s the whole purpose. I mean, when you sat down and first thought about this\u2014and I\u2019m just wondering, Greg\u2014and by the way, welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> Thank you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Did this idea of dating your daughters\u2014did it just come instinctively and naturally to you or did somebody have to prompt you on it? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> Yes. No, my \u201cget-it\u201d factor was really low on the daddy-daughter date scale. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, you had four daughters. Did it come after the third or fourth one? How long did it take? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> Well, I had all four of them on the ground, so to speak. [Laughter] They were in the brood.

I\u2019m listening to my older two talk about their day. One of them says, \u201cAnd Daddy,\u201d\u2014and she mentions this girl\u2019s name. I said: \u201cWhoa! Hold on. Who\u2019s this girl?\u201d All of them looked at me like I had lost my mind. She\u2019s like, \u201cDaddy, that\u2019s my friend.\u201d And she\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cYou don\u2019t know?\u201d\u2014yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> \u2014\u201cThat\u2019s my best friend in the whole world!\u201d I thought, \u201cHow come I don\u2019t know my daughter\u2019s best friend?\u201d Then, of course, I think I probably went, \u201cOh, yes!\u201d [Laughter] \u201cI know exactly\u2014with the hair. It\u2019s the girl with the hair.

How come I don\u2019t know <em>anything<\/em> about\u2014it\u2019s okay that I don\u2019t know their sort of idiosyncratic things that they do when they are at school; but why do I not know these important, pivotal things in their lives?\u201d I think that\u2019s what started me realizing that I was really kind of checked-out, and I didn\u2019t really know what to do. I grew up in a very male-centric society. My dad\u2019s a rancher. I grew up in a sort of a very male-dominant way of thinking. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI don\u2019t get the girl-thing. I don\u2019t understand what they\u2019re talking about most of the time\u2014not just because they speak at the speed of light. They talk so fast is the problem with me; and when they are saying things, I don\u2019t really know what they mean. You get to that spot in the conversation where like: \u201cI\u2019m so sorry. You\u2019ve been talking for 11-and-a-half minutes. I missed like most of that. Can we just\u2014can I get like a Cliff Notes<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> version of what you just said?\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Or how about an interpreter? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> \u201cI want an interpreter,\u201d\u2014like I don\u2019t\u2014yes, so that\u2019s sort of how it works out. So, for me, it was really more of an epiphany of, \u201cGosh, I really do not <em>know<\/em> these girls as well as I think I am supposed to.\u201d I didn\u2019t know really where that came from. I didn\u2019t have some sort of preceding notion that I should know that. I just knew that I ought to know that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And you realized, at that point, that you are going to have to have some one-on-one time because you really get to know a child in the one-on-one time differently than if it\u2019s the whole group going out together; right? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> Yes, because the whole group going out together is essentially chaotic\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014I mean, especially, when they are all young. The only time you ever really get to get front and center, in the theater of a kid\u2019s mind, is to just have the world closed off and it\u2019s just the two of you, eyeball to eyeball; and you\u2019re not like\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne of my principles in <em>Daddy Dating<\/em> is\u2014we don\u2019t do movies because there are two hours of unoccupied time, staring at a screen. Then, when you\u2019re done with the movie, you\u2019re talking about the movie\u2014like you\u2019re not really connecting on any real level. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, I had to kind of figure out\u2014and I mean\u2014I stumbled around. Frankly, I\u2019m still stumbling around, trying to figure it out and getting into the space where we can actually sort of\u2014I can let her just unveil her experiences of where she is in her life and where her thoughts are. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> I get to actually get a front seat to watching the migration of where she was, even six weeks ago, to where she is now and what\u2019s happening there. I\u2019m excited about that part. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I grew up with a brother. So, this concept of dating my daughter\u2014I\u2019d never seen it before. We had a daughter and then, two sons, and then, another three daughters that followed. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe thing that I stumbled on\u2014I think it was a buddy of mine who shared about a date that he\u2019d been on with his daughter when she was little. When I finally went out on a date, I discovered what you are talking about. It\u2019s in those one-on-one times you really do find out who they are, apart from the herd. I mean, when you\u2019ve got six kids, it\u2019s hard to complete a sentence; you know? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, those dates helped us really connect with one another. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tRob, you guys had three daughters and one son. How did the idea of dating your daughter come to you, as a dad? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rob:<\/strong> Well, and I would say it was similar to Greg\u2019s. I mean, I started with this idea\u2014I mean, I grew up in a home with four boys. So, when Joanna and I found out we were having a girl, I had been married long enough to know that I just didn\u2019t have girls quite figured out. [Laughter] So, I walked into it a little bit with some fear and trepidation as far as, \u201cHow do I raise a girl?\u201d I had read about how important the dad is in the daughter\u2019s life and how valuable that is. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, I had the passion \/ I had the desire, but I had no clue how to connect with her on that personal level. So, fortunately, our son was born first. That gave me a little time to work on it\u2014but that\u2019s kind of\u2014it started that same journey. I didn\u2019t feel like I had the tools or the equipping to know what to do, but I had that passion \/ that desire. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Joanna, were you nudging your husband in this direction? Were you seeing the need for him to connect with your daughter on that one-on-one space before he saw it, or did he see it first, do you think? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joanna:<\/strong> Oh, no. Rob was on it\u2014he really was. I do think the driving force was that he started having a lot of business travel when the kids were really small. It created more of a sense of urgency, \u201cIf I\u2019m not a hundred percent here when I am home; then, there is no hope for us.\u201d So, it really started when the girls were pretty tiny\u2014him trying to make up for those bedtimes that he\u2019d missed and story times that he\u2019d missed.

I mean, sometimes, it was skating, bowling\u2014whatever we could come up with together. It was that same idea\u2014it\u2019s about the connection \/ it\u2019s about being with your daughter. It\u2019s about learning her\u2014about her\u2014who she is \/ what she enjoys. I\u2019ve noticed that, as I\u2019ve had more girls and done that, they are all different people.

I could go hunting with them.

In fact, I didn\u2019t know the answer to that question, by the way. I didn\u2019t know what they would actually say until they were interviewed by Pat Robertson\u2019s son, Gordon Robertson. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Gordon Robertson. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> Gordon asked this question of Hailee\u2014he said, \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite date ever?\u201d She\u2019s like: \u201cI like it when we just hang out. I like it when we\u2019re just out on a picnic at a park\u2014just hanging out, doing <em>nothing<\/em>.\u201d And she\u2019s referring to specific times when we\u2019d just go\u2014there\u2019s a park in Austin called Zilker Park; you\u2019re probably familiar with Zilker. We\u2019d like to go to Zilker, and just sit on a blanket, and just talk\u2014just have conversation about whatever. We\u2019ll just sit, and just goof around, and just talk. She digs that! \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhere, I have another daughter, Maddie, my youngest\u2014she\u2019s more the activity-date gal.

Well, Austin has a Segway tour\u2014where you can sign up, and they\u2019ll put you on these things, and give you a ridiculous- looking helmet. Your cool factor drops like to zero as soon as you put that monster on. You just sort of scoot around town, and they show you all the sites. You go see the Texas capitol\u2014and they show you where this building was and that building was. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s just like this really cool\u2014she digs the activity things. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd so, I\u2019m just saying\u2014like the mall for me\u2014if you all do that, more power to you. If any guy is listening and he wants to brave that, \u201cDude, you are a bigger man than me!\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, here\u2019s the deal, and here\u2019s why I did it\u2014it was the love language of my daughters. I mean, they really enjoyed going and looking at clothing. So, you know, as a husband, you do things like that for your wife. You certainly did before, when you dated her. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You did some things you didn\u2019t necessarily consider cool. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> Sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, after you get married, if you want to keep that romance alive, you better go join her in what she enjoys doing.

Just like you said\u2014I mean: \u201cKill me\u2014kill me, an inch at a time.\u201d [Laughter] But I went because it was where my daughters wanted to go. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, and this is part of what I\u2019m thinking. I mean, you described the blanket in the park\u2014just sitting and talking. I\u2019m thinking, \u201cI don\u2019t know that I\u2019d say, \u2018Hey, Sweetheart, let\u2019s throw a blanket in the car and go sit in the park and talk.\u2019\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, I\u2019d rather be on the Segway\u2014I\u2019m more the activity guy. Rob\u2014the guy\/girl\u2014I mean, guys like to be active, generally; girls like to be relational, generally. So, at some level, we have to fight our natural tendencies just to engage; aren\u2019t we? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rob:<\/strong> Absolutely. That is what I kept hearing as I would talk to other dads. It\u2019s like you were saying, Dennis: \u201cThe son\u2014I can connect with him easily. You know, five minutes\u2014we wrestle on the ground, and we\u2019ve made a connection. It\u2019s great. But with my daughters, it\u2019s different. I don\u2019t know how to always approach her. I don\u2019t always know what to say. I don\u2019t know how to get the conversation going.\u201d So, it really is about being a student of your daughter; you know? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s why\u2014in our date book\u2014we put all these different ideas: Take her out\u2014find out what her interests are, what her love languages are, what she loves. I have a daughter, too, that loves the mall. When we go to the mall, a piece of me is dying inside, as you said, Greg; but she comes alive, and I enjoy seeing that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong><br><br>Then, I have another daughter. I\u2019ll make suggestion after suggestion: \u201cYou want to go play putt-putt? You want to go do this?\u201d She is more of the relationship person\u2014more the quiet person\u2014who just wants to sit at the coffee shop and talk about her day or what\u2019s going on in her life. I wouldn\u2019t know that if I wasn\u2019t actively taking that time with them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes. We\u2019re talking with Rob and Joanna Teigen, who have written a book called <em>88 Great Daddy-Daughter Dates. <\/em>Greg Wright is here as well. Greg has written a book called <em>Daddy Dates.<\/em> Rob\u2014all 88 of the dates in your book\u2014have they all been Teigen-tested? Have you done all 88 of these? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rob:<\/strong> In some form or another, I\u2019ve done most of them. Some of the ideas I got from other dads\u2014just talking to other dads\u2014figuring out what they do that works\u2014especially, dads that I saw that had a relationship that was working. But in some form or another, we\u2019ve adapted some of them over time; and I\u2019m redoing a lot of them too. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So, if I told you, \u201cYou can pick any of the 88, and do your favorite daddy-daughter date,\u201d\u2014which one would you gravitate toward?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rob:<\/strong> I did one a couple weeks ago with my youngest. It actually\u2014again, this is one where I walked into it with a little intimidation but ended up having a great time. We went into the kitchen and baked about five dozen cookies. We got some bags\u2014we decorated the bags \/ filled the cookies. Then, we went around to our neighbors and gave the cookies out. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> That\u2019s cool\u2014that\u2019s cool. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rob:<\/strong> And we prayed for each neighbor before we brought the cookies up. So, we kind of just talked about our neighbors and what it means to be neighborly, as a Christian. We had a blast! It was really fun going up to these houses, and knocking on the door, and having them open the door, and look at us like, \u201cWhat are you selling?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rob:<\/strong> And then, handing them\u2014and to watch my daughter\u2019s reaction when she got to give them these. One of our neighbors is pretty elderly, and she just gave her a big hug. You know, just to watch that connection\u2014so, that was definitely up there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut another date that I remember with my oldest\u2014when she was 12 and she was just a few weeks away from turning 13\u2014so, we\u2019re going into those scary teen years. This wasn\u2019t exactly a planned date, but it ended up being one of my favorite ones. We got in the car. We knew we were going to the dollar store because she loves it there. So, we went and looked. We picked out some things\u2014we ended up getting army hats, these little grenades that make the tick-tick sound and then blow up, we got these Nerf<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> balls\u2014and we went to a park. Her birthday is in November\u2014so it was getting cold. We were the only ones at the park. We ran around and played war and had a blast! \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat will always be in my mind because it was this time when she was going from girl into the teen years. I knew things were going to change\u2014we both knew. Then, after we were done, we sat in the car and ate our candy from the dollar store and just laughed. We still talk about that, and that was a really special date. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I couldn\u2019t help but notice, Joanna, when he was talking about being in the kitchen, making the cookies\u2014you kind of winced. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You gave us this little\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joanna:<\/strong> Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014glance like: \u201cOh, this one.

Since your daughters aren\u2019t here to answer the question, is there one or two of these daddy-daughter dates that they\u2019ve mentioned or talked about repeatedly or called up from memory that you, as a mom, had heard them reflect on? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joanna:<\/strong> Well, we were talking about the mall; and that\u2019s always <em>the<\/em> spot to go. Rob has a date called the silly sock date, or something like that, where you have to travel through the mall and find the craziest socks you can possibly find\u2014the dad included. Then, they would take pictures of the socks with his smartphone. Then, they\u2019d take a break. They got something to drink and looked at all the pictures. They could decide which ones were the funniest\u2014then, go back and buy them. So, now, if they were to pull those out and actually wear them, they can remember the fun time they had with their dad. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rob:<\/strong> That\u2019s my advice\u2014that\u2019s my advice to dads who hate the mall: \u201cMake it an adventure,\u201d\u2014you know. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Turn it into kind of a hunting trip. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Rob:<\/strong> Yes; exactly. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joanna:<\/strong> Absolutely. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes\u2014kind of a scavenger hunt of sorts. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joanna:<\/strong> Right; right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I\u2019m just wondering, \u201cWere there ever times, with your daughters, where you thought, \u2018We should probably have a date, but I\u2019m probably the last person she wants to spend any time with right now\u2019?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> You know\u2014can I just say proudly, \u201cNo\u201d? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Really? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Greg:<\/strong> But I\u2019m going to tell you why\u2014it\u2019s not because I\u2019m not a ying-yang.

It is not because I\u2019m a cool dad.

It\u2019s all about building a relationship. So, anybody knows\u2014when you build a relationship, it\u2019s going to demand self-sacrifice. It\u2019s going to mean you pay a price. You\u2019re not always going to get to go do what you like doing best, but the relationship is worth it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>20:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI always viewed it like this: My daughters are getting ready to go into\u2014when they were little, they were getting ready to go into grade school\u2014and, then, junior high and high school. I knew they were heading into those challenging years \/ those perilous years of adolescence. I wanted to have the bridge of my relationship with my daughters in place\u2014so the traffic could go in this direction and in the other direction across that bridge\u2014so that there could be dialogue between us. I didn\u2019t want that bridge to go down. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI viewed dating my daughter around the age of three or four as beginning to build that bridge of a relationship so that it was fully in place\u2014and I\u2019m going to tell you something\u2014when you get into adolescence, it takes work to keep the bridge open because there are a lot of obstacles, and barricades, and bombs that get thrown on that bridge to blow it up. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>21:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, you were also painting a picture for your daughters of who God is because they\u2019re getting their picture of who their Heavenly Father is from the relationship they\u2019re having with their earthly father. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And God pursues us and wants a relationship with us. I think dads need to realize that they do get\u2014to Bob\u2019s point here\u2014our daughters do get their first picture of who God is from their earthly father. So, the question is: \u201cHow will they remember you\u2014as a stern, strict, no-nonsense, no fun, never smile, always talking about the rules, and lecturing, and preaching, and teaching? Or will they remember you as getting down on the floor\u2014wrestling with them when they are really little\u2014and then, later on, taking them out on a special Coke<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> date or a cup of coffee as they get older?\u201d The point is\u2014that, as daddies, we bear this responsibility. Nobody else can do this for us. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>22:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes, and it helps to have, you know, a little coaching \/ some creativity.
