Building Strong And Healthy Family Relationships Series

• Wives are to submit to and respect their husbands

• Husbands are to unconditionally love their wives as Christ loved the church.

• Our marriage home group recently went through the book Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs, which explains in details this empowering cycle in marriages.

“1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: 3 "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." 4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:1-4).

• Children are to obey and honour their parents.

• Fathers need to make sure they don’t provoke their children to wrath.

CLOSING: Prayer of blessing for families.
