The Manival #15
Welcome to the 15th edition of The Manival – the weekly blog carnival for men. Each week a different man blogger hosts the carnival, and I’m honored for Discovering Dad to present this edition. Each carnival features articles about how men can be better husbands, fathers and men, in general.
Let’s get to this week’s submissions, before the cup of testosterone runneth over.
Editor’s Picks
Kevin presents Profiles In Manliness: Gordie Howe posted at Return To Manliness. Howe is a legendary sports figure because he worked hard to be an exemplary athlete and outstanding role model.

Derek says, “Parents are competing with one another and the game is their children’s lives.” This article makes you think hard about how you treat your child, as well as the manner in which you engage with other parents.
Family and Relationships
