Your extraordinary marriage starts here: www.thedadedge.com/25questions
Today, in this week’s Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, Larry Hagner challenges fathers to look beyond their curated public image and confront the hidden pressures of their daily lives. Through a candid reflection on his own breaking point, he reveals how overwhelming busyness led to damaged relationships with his children and wife.
The discussion explores how the constant juggle of work, family, and life’s chaos can silently erode the connections that matter most. Larry Hagner shares his personal story of reaching a crisis point – from losing patience with his children to questioning his own worth—to demonstrate that acknowledging these struggles is the first step toward meaningful change.
Larry’s Takeaways
- Busyness can harm family connections and patience.
