Today’s guest, Pastor Ted Cunningham, shares how the kid-centered home prolongs adolescence and that parents need to
teach and model how to leave and cleave. He emphasises that the bond between husband and wife is (and should be)
stronger than that between parent and child. Signs of a kid-centred home include parental guilt and the pace of life. Ted
shares four spiritual journeys within the home – personal, spouse, marriage, and child. He relates that the father, as the
leader of the home, really acts as the pastor of the family. Jim Daly and Ted also discuss the “graying of divorce”—parents
who are leaving the marriage later in life, as empty-nesters.
