Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Husbands are to be the head of the house, guiding the home and making decisions that are in the best interest of all family members. They may seek input from those involved but they must make the final decision. They are responsible for the family.
Children are to learn to love and respect their parents.
This can be accomplished by the parents showing love and respect to each other and to the children. If children love and respect their parents, they will more readily accept the chores and responsibilities given to them by their parents. If each family member understands his or her duties and responsibilities in the home and endeavors to fulfill those responsibilities, our homes will be pleasing to God. We will also have enjoyable family time and desire more time with our families, thus having a peek at what heaven will be like. All Christians must live godly lives in order to be Christ-like.
