Codie Sanchez tells fathers that how they treat the mother sets the standard their daughters will expect from partners. Her own father was strong, kind, and never raised his voice or used harsh words, which shaped what she looks for in men.

Dads, you have an incredible amount of power over your daughters. You shape the way they live and love and their future. The way you treat their mom teaches them how they should be treated. My dad, he's one of the best men I've ever known. He taught me what a real man looks like. Strong, kind, funny, caring. What you do when you're mad and fuming teaches them what they should accept from a future partner. My dad holds an incredible standard in a man. And because I never watched my dad yell at my mom, ever, I never watched him say a mean word to her. I know they argued and I'm sure they were mean at times, but I never saw it. Now hold that same standard. So if you're a dad, my advice to you is hold the line.
