“Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate” (Mark 10:9).
From the beginning God has made a family to be a place of love and affection for children and couples. From the beginning. Marriage has been part of the God plan, he blessed Adam and Eve as a couple to live together and form family. The bible instructs couples to love themselves and live together forever. If a family follows God and his teachings, that family tends to grow stronger and shares bond together.
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord” (Colossians 3:20)
Bro Eli also said let the children obey their parents and care for them at old age and let the parents care for their children when there are still young. Parents are expected to look out for their children and show them the ways of God at an early age, so that when they get old they can also teach their own children. When you put God first in a family, the family grows with love and peace.
