Sugiarto Sugiarto, Kosma Manurung

Abstract


It is important to prepare your child's future properly because this provides a sense of peace and also increases the child's chances of success in the future. This also means preventing children from committing various crimes in the future. This research seeks to explore the contribution of fathers in preparing children's future in Christian families. It is hoped that the use of descriptive qualitative methods and literature studies can explain at a glance the existence of fathers in Christian families, the urgency in preparing children's futures, and the maximum contribution a father can make in preparing children's futures. It is concluded that fathers will contribute maximally in preparing their children's future when they teach Bible truths as a guide to their children's faith and daily behavior, making themselves role models, consistent and the main motivator when their children need it.
