COLOSSIANS
3:18-21
Husband love your
wife!
Wife submit to your
husband!
Children obey and
honor your parents!
Father do not
provoke your children!
HUSBAND IS
PRIEST AND HEAD OF HOME
Husband is
responsible for the family and must obey JESUS
CHRIST. He is to
command household to keep the Way of the Lord, teach
and correct the children, talk about the Bible, and
serve the Lord.
Husband is to be
lord of wife and head of home. Wife is to obey
husband, be subject to husband in everything and not
to usurp the authority of man.
DUTIES OF
A GOOD HUSBAND
Husband is to love,
honor, be happy with, be kind to, have knowledge of
and cleave unto wife, and become one flesh. He is to
provide for family, follow instructions of the Bible,
live a Godly life and not to provoke his children.
DUTIES OF
A GOOD WIFE
Wife is to bear
children and raise children well. She is to be quiet
and sensible in manner and clothing; live kind, good
and loving life; listen and learn quietly and humbly;
be thoughtful, faithful, respectful and sensible; take
care of home and spend time there; help those who are
sick or hurt; teach goodness and train younger women;
have Godly conversation, trust God and live Godly
life; have gentle and quiet spirit; fit in with
husband's plans; have pure behavior and be beautiful
inside; and love husband and children. She should be
clean minded, not a gossiper nor lazy and nosey.
SEXUAL
RELATIONS: PROVERBS 5:15-21 AND HEBREWS 13:4
There should be a
joy in your relations to your mate. Ask God to help
you achieve satisfaction. You should enjoy and desire
each other's affections. Your body belongs to your
mate.
LIVING THE
CHRISTIAN LIFE
Living an effective
Christian life contributes to a happy family. In a
short period of time you are not going to become a
perfect Christian or have a perfect family. You will
work all of your life trying to be more like JESUS
CHRIST. You will succeed in the degree that you are
willing to obey the Bible.
