I'm happy for you Liam. Mileage does vary though. I think the most important thing a man can do for his children is to keep his heart open and available for them. If that happens through courtly love of their mother that is great. This isn't much of an era for courtly love though. There doesn't seem to be enough appreciation to go around. But it is still the most important thing for a man's soul and his children -- keeping an open heart, I mean.
