Romantic excitement may spark a relationship, but lasting love is built through intention, curiosity and devotion—sustained by mystery, deep commitment, and habits that keep romance alive through every season.

Fr Mihoc invites fathers to become “guardians of joy”, showing how everyday moments of fun, presence, and faith-filled love can shape resilient kids and transform the emotional atmosphere of family life.

As someone who is passionate for men in the context of mothers, fathers and children, I looked through my rather large collection of books about men and fatherhood. These books have different reasons for being on my top ten list, but they are all classics.

Too many times I’ve been burned by good intentions, watching a New Year’s resolution run aground on the rocks of February — if they even made it that far. However, I have made changes in my life that stuck — including several this year that I plan to tweak or build upon as 2026 begins.

This Christmas, pause to remember the shepherds who heard the news of the Christ Child's birth. Recall that God sent His Saviour into the world for everyday people. Yes, even the most ordinary among us have been welcomed into the greatest story ever told.

Love is a very costly exercise, but it has great rewards and brings great joy. Having celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary, here are our 10 keys to having a great marriage.

One of the speakers at this year’s Dads4Kids Men’s Leadership Summit was Danny Abdallah — the Sydney father who lost three children to a drunk driver and went on to forgive the killer. This weekend, Danny will appear in an episode of Spotlight on 7NEWS that recounts the tragic incident — and more importantly, will highlight Danny’s journey of forgiveness.

Please be assured as I take on the new role of CEO that the heart of Dads4Kids will continue to beat strong with fresh energy. I’m excited for all that God, our Father in Heaven, has in store for the big-hearted movement founded by the wonderful Warwick and Alison Marsh.
