Fathers have a tremendous impact upon their daughters!  Most psychologists believe that all future romantic relationships in a womans life will be affected positively or negatively by the way she perceives and interacts with her "dad."

If he rejects and ignores her she will spend her life trying to replace him in her heart.  If he is warm and nurturing she will look for a lover to equal him.  If he thinks that she is beautiful, worthy and feminine she is most likely to see herself that way.  But if he thinks that she is unattractive and uninteresting she will likely have self-esteem issues well into her adult years.

A womans respect for her husband is influenced by the way that she perceives her father.  If he was overbearing and uncaring during her developmental years she may disrespect her husband and question his judgment.  But if "dad" appropriately blended love and leadership in a way that communicted strength she will be more likely to live harmoniously with him.  While these tendencies or trends may not be absolute in every case, it remanis true that a loving father creates stability and leaves his mark on the life of his child that will influence her for the rest of her life.
