There is a positive correlation between marital quality and the quality of the father-child relationship, the California Healthy Marriages Coalition says.
The California Healthy Marriages Coalition, an online clearinghouse on marriage and family ties, says both parents bring balance to a child's physical and emotional welfare, but more than 100 studies say fathers may be more important than mothers in the lives of their children.
"Children with involved, loving fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, exhibit empathy and pro-social behavior compared to children who have uninvolved fathers," reports the US Department of Health & Human Services.
K. Jason Krafsky, co-author of "Facebook and Your Marriage," says: "The quality of the relationship with my wife, how we communicate, work as a team and express intimacy, model for our kids what a healthy marriage is and give them a better chance of having one themselves in the future."


合众社洛杉矶6月17日报道，据加利福尼亚健康婚姻联盟称，婚姻质量与父子关系的好坏成正比。

加利福尼亚健康婚姻联盟是一个关于如何改善婚姻和家庭关系的网上交流机构。它说，虽然双亲都能使孩子的生理和心理协调健康发展，但有超过100项的研究显示，父亲在孩子的生活中也许比母亲更加重要。


美国卫生与公众服务部的报告称："与没有父亲关爱的孩子相比，有父亲关爱的孩子在学校表现要好得多，有健康的自尊，表现出同情心和亲社会的行为。"

曾参与撰写《"脸谱"网站与你的婚姻》一书的杰森•克拉夫斯基说："我与妻子的关系，比如我们如何交流、合作和表达爱意，会向我们的孩子展示健康的婚姻是什么样的，使他们今后更有可能拥有自己的健康婚姻。"
