A Direct Line Life Insurance study also found dads are three times more likely to miss out on their child’s first words and steps than mums.

Mark Chester from Who Let The Dads Out, a Christian ministry for dads and men, told Premier nothing should stop dads from being in the delivery room.

“It’s just too good an opportunity to miss. Shared experience is like relationship glue really and what a great way to start a relationship and get off on the right foot with a shared experience and being there at the birth of your child,” he said.

The study predicted that flexible working and shared maternity/paternity leave would enable both parents to spend more time with their children in the future.

Chester said it was encouraging that most men do want to witness the birth of their children but acknowledged there would be issues such as poor health and work commitments that would stop them.

He however told Premier people should pray for men to value their children’s landmark moments.

He added: “I think we should just pray for people that they wouldn’t be bound by that fear but actually they would feel some freedom to take a risk – to do something different… find some courage to make some brave decisions about perhaps sacrificing a particular job and taking on a different job.

“Pray for them that they would have clarity in seeing how important this relationship with our…

Entitled The Faith of Donald J. Trump: A Spiritual Biography, the book includes interviews with the Mr Trump and US Vice President Mike Pence about the president’s religious beliefs and his relationship with evangelicals during the 2016 election.

The book was written by the chief political correspondent for the Christian Broadcasting Network and the Jesus in the Public Square columnist for the Washington Times.

It journeys through Mr Trump’s faith starting from his Protestant confirmation to how he stood up for traditional Judaeo-Christian principles as a presidential candidate and as the leader of the United States.

“The Faith of Donald Trump,” a book just out by David Brody and Scott Lamb, is a very interesting read. Enjoy!

Despite much criticism about Mr Trump’s three marriages and politically incorrect behaviour, the authors maintain that “President Trump won over evangelicals not by pandering to them, but by supporting them and all their most important issues without pretending to be something he’s not”.

James Robison, spiritual counsellor to the president told the authors: “God uses the imperfect people to accomplish his perfect will. He always has and always will.”

The book explains that President Trump has surrounded himself with Christian leaders that will bring values of “hard work, discipline,…

Gabriella Papadakis was competing with her partner Guillaume Cizeron at the competition in Pyeongchang when her glittering green costume became unhooked at the neckline.

During the final element of the routine, Papadakis’ chest became exposed on live television.

The 22-year-old from France said: “I felt it right away and I prayed; that’s about what I could do.”

Papadakis and Cizeron persevered through the routine and secured a score of 81.93, which put them in second place – behind Canadian competitors Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.

The skater appeared to be almost in tears as she approached reporters after the routine but was more cheerful later, once she no doubt released her medal hopes remained intact.

She said: “It was pretty distracting, kind of my worst nightmare happening at the Olympics.

“I told myself, ‘I don’t have a choice. I have to keep going’, and that’s what we did.

“I think we can be proud of ourselves being able to deliver a great performance with that happening.”

It is unclear whether the judges marked the couple down for the wardrobe issue. The regulations state losing any part of a costume can warrant a one-point deduction.

Cizeron added: “It’s a little bit frustrating to know that it’s not because of something…
