Topic: Pillars Required To Maintain A Successful Family
Bible Text: Colossians 3:18-21.
Note
Your devotion should be to your husband, you can't be devoted to your husband and not be devoted to Christ.
The quality of a marriage has to do with the quality of the wife and the quality of the husband.
Husbands try to understand your wife. Fathers do not have unrealistic expectations for your children else they will become discouraged.
The husband, the wife and children are the people who makes up a family.
Children respect your parents, pay attention to whatever they are telling you, think deep over it, reason with them. (Ephesians 6) For you to live long and for it to be well with you, you have to respect your parents.
Pillars Required To Maintain A Successful Family.
